Perhaps I was more distracted than other days, that a couple of days ago, it struck me during the moment of consecration at Mass that the prayer says... AFTER supper, he took the cup...
I thought the bread and wine was part of the meal. But the Eucharistic prayer, on more than one occasion, states that Jesus took the cup AFTER supper!
I thought the custom of drinking wine, at any occasion, is usually before or even during meal. Not so much, after the meal! Well, I'm not an expert in that matter - neither in manners or the custom of drinking wine nor in liturgy. But looks like there's something there that I haven't paid attention to or learnt about the Eucharistic liturgy!
