AH HA!! Christ has returned… in the form of crackers? Is the apocalypse a lack of something to spread on said crackers?

It even says “8 pétards de Noël” on the box.

Er, it was a joke. I know what a cracker (Christmas, for the celebration of) is. It appears I have been hoist with my own petard.

Mark, if they go bang when you and a partner tug on the ends; and they dispense paper hats, small trinkets, and a paper fortune/joke/riddle, then yes they would be.

Pétards de Noël? Is that Canadian for Christmas Crackers?

David, are they curiously similar to Pétards de Noël?

Do any of the above commenters understand what Christmas crackers are?
They have nothing to do with communion or crackers (saltines, Ritz, or Cheez-its).

Not all sects of Christianity believe Communion is *actually* Christ’s body and blood. Catholics, some Lutherans, probably some other liturgical/traditional congregations do – most protestant denominations see Communion (or The Lord’s Supper) as a symbolic ritual of remembrance – not, as enneract so pithily put, a “cannabalistic meal.”

Now these, from a marketing standpoint, might actually be called “Christ as crackers.” Which…tee!

It looks as if this may be a prank. Look below the crackers and you will see a gift wrap-like item labelled: “Wrapture.”

Christ as crackers? Not so far fetched, according to Wikipedia:

“A host is a portion of bread used for Holy Communion in many Christian churches. In Western Christianity the host is often a thin, round unleavened wafer.”

From Wikipedia’s entry on “sacramental bread”.

Ahh, the joys of retail lingo. This is probably short for assorted Christmas crackers, so at least it didn’t come out as Christ Ass Crackers…

well, if you are a christian, you actually ‘think’ those communion crackers are literally some sort of cannibalistic meal…
