bread The wine represent blood and thbread represents the flesh.
There's a few variations. Many know the "Bread, so this house may never know hunger; salt, so that life may always have flavor and wine, that joy and prosperity may reign forever" from It's a Wonderful Life, but it likely didn't originate with the film. I've also heard money, so that you may never be poor used or possibly substituted for wine, particularly if the new home owners do not drink.
It's an old tradition with roots in Russia, Judaism, Christianity, and many Eastern European cultures. Many people probably know it from Frank Capra's "It's a Wonderful Life", when George and Mary Bailey welcome the Martinis into their new home. Mary: Bread... that this house may never know hunger. [Mary hands a loaf of bread to Mrs. Martini] Mary: Salt... that life may always have flavor. [Mary hands a box of salt to Mrs. Martini] George Bailey: And wine... that joy and prosperity may reign forever. Enter the Martini Castle. [George hands Mr. Martini a bottle of wine]
Bread - that this house may never know hunger. Salt - that life may always have flavor. Wine - that joy and prosperity may reign forever. Bread - that this house may never know hunger. Salt - that life may always have flavor. Wine - that joy and prosperity may reign forever.
