| When the stamped bread is used in church
it represents the body of Jesus Christ. The stamp has been blessed,
and is used for different ceremonies including Patron Day. Each
section of the stamp has a specific meaning and the divisions
in the stamp help the priest divide up the bread among the congregation.
"My contribution
is through food. I always cook, every night. I think it keeps
the family closer. I want them to cook too - I learned by looking,
helping. I also make bread." Elena
