Unleavened bread and wine. St. Paul says of the supper in the book of First Corinthians "one person goes hungry and another gets drunk." Though he says this in rebuke, the passage does indicate the presence of wine at the meal. Earlier in that same book he says that leavened bread is a symbol of evil, so it goes that soft breads made with yeast should certainly not be used in these meals. The reason many Christians use Grape Juice is because they have moved the supper to breakfast time and therefore the use of wine seems a bit out of place for that early in the day. Too, before modern refrigeration, something as sweet as grape juice would not have been practical or feasible for routine use due to fast spoilage. Wine was and is more stable and useful as a beverage for responsible individuals. The most important part of any supper however are the folks with whom one eats.
