Many humans believed their sins were forgiven with the shedding of their Savior’s life’s blood. With bread and wine they commemorated this.

Take, eat: this is my body… He that eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, dwells in me, and I in him.

Smiling sadly, D closed his eyes, brought the goblet with its precious contents to his lips.

I’ll give it to you… my blood… my flesh. My heart itself, if you need it.

He drank a toast to his own savior, who had offered her life to cleanse the sin of his imperfection.

Do this in remembrance of me.


THE END


A/N: Is it a touch too religious? Perhaps, but the idea came very strongly to me and I had to try.

I wasn't raised a Christian (or with any religion, really) so it wasn't until I was an adult taking a World Religions class that I learned that some Christian sects (is it the Catholics? I forget...) believe that the communion wafers and wine are literally transmuted into the blood and flesh of Christ. That gave me a moment of squick. But then again, there's a lot of squick in the Bible in general... Not being raised in the faith, Christianity just confuses the hell out of me.
