Eating and feeding in memory of saints is one of the most central forms of the making of religious relationships in Zege. This chapter compares hosting, hospitality, and eating together in the name of saints with Eucharistic practice, and it argues that small-scale echoes of the Eucharist are foundational to relations between saints and community.
