Even the bread in LOTR has a lore. I love it.

Thank goodness JRR and Christopher Tolkien left all this for us. It beats Game of Thrones by far and away.

So when we say “lembas bread” we’re actually saying “journey-bread bread”?

Should also note from "Children of Húrin" in chapter 6 concerning Lembas is says , "For according to the customs of the Eldalië the keeping and the giving of this food belonged to the Queen alone." And also, "In nothing did Melian show greater favour to Túrin than in this gift; for the Eldar had never before alowed man to use this waybread, and seldom did so again." This just helps show the faith and favour Galadriel had with the Fellowship, Along with the individual gifts she gave to each of them.

This my friends is the Eucharist - the Bread of Life and Food for the Journey!

imagine going on a journey straight into a giant volcano in the heart of mordor and surving only on communion wafers smh

3:40 Well, in the Catholic tradition, the prayers of consecration are far more substantial. Catholics (myself included) hold to the the doctrine of transubstantiation. We believe that this goes beyond a mere spiritual link and that the Eucharist is the literal body and blood of Christ. He is present fully (body, blood, soul, and divinity) in the Eucharist although the Eucharist does take on the outer appearance of bread and wine. Also, Tolkien was much more frequent in his mass attendance, and I believe that he received the Eucharist daily.

I know I've been wearing you out today. Forgive me. I have just found your channel and I'm enjoying it very much. This particular video shared information I was not aware of... It seems the more I study my Middle-Earth books, I find I know so little. Thank you for your work and time spent on all of these videos.

Absolutely love your video. Great work!

Lembas bread, the real hero of middle earth “Frodo wouldn’t have got far without lembas”

These days high calorie foods are very easy to come by. Middle Earth already had their MRE’s.

love the flexing of knowledge lore in the comment section of all jrrt related vids. i get reminded of so much and also learn a shit ton

What you said about lembas bread reminds me of the Manna in the Bible that God sent from heaven to sustain the Israelites when they were wandering in the desert after they where freed from slavery. It was said to be a type of light bread that tasted like waffers made with honey. Apparently they ate it for 40 years until they got to Canaan.

@@Ryo-sj8wn yes! and also, the eating of the quail is followed by HaShem's disappointment and anger. manna and lembas are both "heavenly" in their matter.

Beautiful video! Panem de caelo praestitisti eis. Omne delectamentum in se habentem.

I'd love to make something like this, only needing to eat a few bites of bread a day. Would never need to waste time needing to eat again.

I saw an online parody of LOTR about 20 years ago, and Twinkies were the parody of Lembas, which if you think about it, would last even longer
