A Kenyan woman has sparked reactions online after sharing a video of her at home drinking altar wine holding a tin of communion wafers.
The video shared online, showing her sipping the wine from a bottle labeled ‘Dine’ while eating the wafers which traditionally are reserved for the Christians sacrament of Holy Communion. The post has gained thousands of comments online, sparking debate around faith, respect and the boundaries of both social media and religious practice.
Social media users have condemned her saying it’s disrespectful to religious traditions. They have argued that communion elements are sacred and should not be consumed outside the church rituals.
In the Christian practice, altar wine and communion wafers symbolize the blood and body of Christ, and are central to the Eucharist ritual. Many online users have stated her actions have crossed the line of the Christian faith.
The incident has drawn attention to the growing trend of Kenyan influencers and content creators are increasingly going beyond boundaries to attract attention online.
