Our church serves white grape juice at Communion. This bowled me over the first time I saw it, and is still a source of hilarity, because it's meant to represent the blood of Christ and...well, blood's not yellow.

Haha. I guess that's good. Or, at least, not as bad as it could've been. :P

Now they give you a grape instead of juice.

::dies laughing:: I don't think I can beat the "holy pants" comment.

I kinda miss when my church actually used matza bread for Communion. And we use cranberry juice, because we're weird that way.
