"There is something fundamentally religious in celebrating a festival, because it gives an opportunity to rejoice in the bountiful gifts of God, which we find not only in food but also in relationships, leisure, games and relaxation. These pleasures are also fundamentally human, so it is no surprise that festivals involve eating and drinking. We are built to want to give thanks and we are built to socialize of course, we need to eat. So whether we are feasting at God in the presence of Christ or simply dining at home, let us remember God's gifts, his generosity to us, not only in food and drink but in Jesus Christ."Gordon Giles - Fasting and Feasting (BRF)
