Catholics and Eastern Orthodox believe in transubstantiation, but most other Christians believe in consubstantiation or that communion is symbolic. If you're going to make sweeping generalizations, please check your facts.

I especially liked the large wooden penis. In Denmark they like to burn witches ( made by the whole family in wood) and cut the head off of cake in the shape of a man. I am trying to think of weird French Canadian rituals or things we do in the outdoors but I can't think of it. I will post again if I think of something. Heidi Thank you so much for this post.

I remember going to a Russian wedding and what happens there is that after the ceremony, the best man kidnaps the bride and the new husband has to find her. The plan being that the reunited couple arrives triumphantly at the reception. Except in our case, the husband couldn't find the bride anywhere! Those of us at the reception got merrily drunker and drunker as we waited and waited. Eventually, the husband called the best man, pleading to know where they'd run off to! What a fascinating post!
