Correct answer: №2Correct!Educational materials: Why is wine considered as the blood of Christ and bread as His body?Comment:In his book My Life in Christ, Saint Righteous John of Kronstadt makes a remarkable comparison between feeding on mother's milk and the Sacrament of Communion:
"What wonder is it that you are offered for food and drink His Body and Blood by the Lord? He who gave you to eat the flesh of the animals He created, He gave you to eat and nourish Himself at last. He who nourished you with the teats of your mother, He Himself at last undertook to nourish you with His own flesh and blood, so that, just as with the milk of your mother you may absorb the known properties of your mother and her spirit, so with the Body and Blood of Christ the Saviour you may absorb His spirit and life. Or, as before in infancy you were nourished by your mother and lived by her milk, so now, when you have grown up and become a sinful man, you feed on the blood of your Life-giver, so that by this you may live and grow spiritually into a man of God, a holy man; in short: that just as then you were a mother's son, so now you may be a child of God, brought up, nourished by His Flesh and Blood, and more especially by His Spirit - His Flesh and Blood are spirit and life - and become an heir of the Kingdom of Heaven, for which you were created, for which you live".
