Today I got to the school at eight expecting to teach six classes for the day. Instead the school had a mass that last for two classes and then everybody ate grapes, hot chocolate and bread which lasted for another class. I was told by somebody that these foods were Catholic symbols. I understand the symbolism of the grapes and bread but the hot chocolate ? God is sweet and warm? I asked around and found out that the hot chocolate was just a school tradition. Originally, the many of the students who went to the school were poor and so the school gave them hot chocolate as a way of getting the students to drink milk. I believe today was also the first time I ever non seedless grapes

I am laughing at this "God is sweet and warm" comment. If only one of my Catholic schools has subscribed to this theory!
