Communion in Peru...and Around the World

Last Sunday, we planned to do communion, but there was a little bit lacking when it came to the actually acquiring of the things required to partake of communion. At the last minute, we were looking around at what we had: water and animal crackers. Well, that became our awesome communion meal.

So far, we have had bread for all of the communion services. That one is easy. Bread is very cheap and easy to come by, when you make time to go get it.. :O We also have quite the variety to choose from. Camote (sweet potato) bread is my favorite so far to use.

As fast the the wine (juice) goes, we have had freshly made chicha morada and grape juice. I am not a big fan of the chicha, but made with enough lime juice I can handle it. It was really fun to see Wilfredo use grapes and make his own grape juice from scratch too. In the States, it is so easy to just go to the store and buy a jug of grape juice or what have you, which is fine, but not nearly as exciting.

So animal crackers and water is not the typical communion here in Peru, but we had to make do with our circumstances. I think we still got the message across.

This got me thinking about what other people around the world use for their communion. Anyone have any unique communion experiences they would like to share? Leave me a comment! :)
