You know, I was thinking abotu lembas this morning after church. Soemthing about today's Holy Communion got me thinkin. When the Israelites were wandering in the desert, God gave them Manna to eat. It makes sense to me that Lembas is like Manna. I really don't know what Tolkien had in mind, but Lembas does do everything that Manna did for the Israelites. The only thing I can think of that comes close to my imagination of manna is pita bread.
