Well, what do the more regular people do at your church festivals? Do

they dance and drink a little? Festivals typically are *light*

occasions, where folks come together to sing, dance, tell stories, drink

a little wine, eat, and have fun. That's the charm of the Greek Orthodox

festival, and most of the Roman Catholic and Jewish

festivals/weddings/bar mitzvahs, et cetera, I've attended.



Your guy Jesus did some of that...he didn't, after all, change water

into grape juice at the marriage at Cana, did he? And there are many who

believe the last supper was in fact one of the seders Jews hold in

conjunction with Passover, and assuredly, if it were such a ceremony,

the liquid in the chalice was wine, not water.


I answered your question Harry. Now what does drinking and dancing at a church bazaar have to do with feeding the poooooor?
