Even more so, the church exhibits its faith by involving the community to celebrate the Lord together. In comparison, a powwow is very similar to a weekly Christian worship service. During a powwow, the participants celebrate through song and dance, prayer, ceremonies, and acts of hospitality and unity (“The Powwow”). Similar to the Holy Communion, powwow

Jaja didn’t approve of Papa’s ways since the beginning of the book, “Things started to fall apart when my brother, Jaja, did not go to communion…”(3). Jaja progressively tried to change Papa’s ways by either not going to communion or leaving the dining table before Papa said a prayer, “But he was also doing what we never did: he was leaving the table before Papa has said the prayer after meals”(14).

An older Kambili remembers “Things started to fall apart [in my household] when my brother… did not go to communion” (Adiche 3). From the first sentence, the audience is presented with a blanket statement about Kambili and her family. The audience is instantly dumped into Kambili’s strict Catholic family, where refusing communion is able to tear the family apart. The reader starts to paint his or her own prejudices and opinions of Catholicism over the image Adiche had

several views of the Lord’s Supper throughout church history including: transubstantiation, consubstantiation, the symbolic nature of the Eucharist, and the most commonly accepted view of the Lord’s Supper today. Even today, the Lord’s Supper, or communion, as it is often called, is one of the most debated of the sacraments.

I was baptized into the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, per request of my maternal grandmother, but when I attended mass at my father's Roman Catholic Church, I wasn't allowed to receive communion. I stood up to follow my dad down the aisle of the church, just as I followed my mom to receive Qurban (Amharic for "communion" in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church).

Mark founded the school of Alexandria and was martyred in Egypt in 68AD, when he was tied to a horse and dragged to death by a mob of pagans on Easter, 68AD.
