Sympathy for the Lord: The Host and Elements of Sympathetic Magic in Late Medieval Exempla
When Jesus identified Himself as the bread of life, He meant that He could be allegorically eaten, metabolized so as to dwell inside the body of the faithful. In fact, this led the eucharistic bread to be venerated and, occasionally and more or less intentionally, desecrated. Many late medieva...

| 520 | |a When Jesus identified Himself as the bread of life, He meant that He could be allegorically eaten, metabolized so as to dwell inside the body of the faithful. In fact, this led the eucharistic bread to be venerated and, occasionally and more or less intentionally, desecrated.

This article offers a parallel between such beliefs and practices and an ancient, traditional conceptshared by many peoples in the pastaccording to which it was possible to absorb someone's attributes by eating part of their body. From this viewpoint, the Christian theophagy proves somewhat original but also extremely contradictory. | ||
