Urban and sociocultural dynamics

The practices of commensality are present in diverse religions, organize rituals and define systems of belonging. In Christianity, commensality serves to structure faith. In the Eucharist primitive Christianity communities, in shared solidarity, had the opportunity to experience one dignified meal per week. This principle of sharing referred to the practice of Jesus and extended itself to other meals of the community, providing welcome and sustenance to itinerant preachers and the poor.
