Our life is bound with meanings. Meanings that cover beliefs, values, symbols, signs and cultures. Some symbols may vary from culture to culture but others transcend and share universal and timeless importance. All are playing a role with a center aspect in our social existence that exceeds its own boundaries. Symbols are not merely perceived by our senses, but rather serve as essential ingredients in the formation of the meaning. A congregation that comes together through participation, interaction and evolution. The impressive image of our human life, with all our beliefs, is provided by the aggregation and the assembly of various symbols.

 

Metaphors, myths, allegories, parables, and stories acknowledge the wisdom passed down by generations, inspiring value beyond the immediate comprehension. These meanings carry associations through the centuries, shaping the human history and development.

 

Today we know that there are no real or single meanings and it is really only ascription to objects in terms of human use. In the variety of modern cultures symbolism can seem potentially religious but it is nested in the interaction with a human center and seized from the sensuous immediacy of our allusive nature. A suggestion of an answer fused in our mind and directed to be thought and perceived at any time.

 

Distinctive aliments have grown to carry rich symbolism, with the BREAD at the forefront of our daily life for centuries. The meaning of the BREAD extends far beyond its function as a source of energy or sustenance. Its connotations are attributed to different traditions throughout nations and cultures around the world, denoting the sense of existence and even combining the context of all food. Passed down the history, the BREAD has sacred associations with folklore and rituals, deepening its context over time.

​

With immeasurable cultural and historical significance and timeless importance the BREAD is so much more than just of a nutritional value. It is a symbol, correlating and connecting the physical and spiritual aspects of life - food not only for the body, but for the soul as well.

​

A semantic synthesis can colligate and generalize that the BREAD is with universal value and importance. It stands at a position of one of the most important creations in our human life.

 

So simple in its essence but so saturated with meaning and diversity.

 

We will not be wrong saying that Bread is Life.
