Document Summary
The incarnation is the divine or god in ordinary human existence as a spirit, a person, a presence, or a quality. For catholics and lutherans, the two christian groups represented in babette"s feast, the eucharist is a sacrament or sacred ritual that represents the incarnation of the divine in a person, jesus christ. I. e. , the divine or god as a person is thought to change the substance of the bread and the wine into actual human flesh and blood (catholic), or to be present in terms of his spirt. The eucharist is also a ritual mean in which believers ingest the divine. Believers themselves participate in the incarnation of the divine in the human. Ordinary meals are also life-giving because they nourish our bodies. The french dinner that babette happily and freely prepares, using all of her creativity and money, demonstrates this well and some. Sensuous health and joy become the medium for moral and spiritual health and joy.
