@holardamolar: But wait, Na only one person own be that or one you chop your own and pass the rest?

@justfrankleen: I thought “holy communion” was a part of Christ’s body and his blood?
If you eat this quantity,what will remain in his body

@iam_bakedboi: but bro you know this is wrong. Partaking in Holy Communion is sacred and not to be brought on social media for laughs, likes and retweets. also it doesnt matter the size or improvisation of what was used as the communion, it is the faith behind it.
