Reflections on Lord of the Rings part 2/3
The lembas bread sustains them on the journey. The films try their best to capture this element, but still fall short. I remember reading the books and wanting to taste lembas bread. It was only years later I learned that lembas bread was a symbol of the Eucharist bread. Tolkien held different views on communion, but the idea is right on. Only Jesus, the true bread of life sustains us.
What is sustaining me today?
