Answer 1

it is commonly believed in the eastern European countries that if you drop a piece of bread and step on it that it is the same as stepping on Christ. Of course this comes from the bible in that Jesus is the bread of life, but as not real bearing on the bread which falls affecting Him. I think that if you wanted to do some art work based on this, it would be tremendous and valuable. I would also like to see it completed

also forgot to mention that if you step on the bread, you will become hungry
