We came to the conclusion that in all great religions there is the idea of "sacred food" that connects man with the divine world. By eating this food, man is consecrated and projected into the spiritual world, where he becomes a partner of the divine presence. To be more specific, we shall analyse different religions from this point of view. In the Eastern World, if we think of the Shinto faith, we can see that the bowl of rice offered through the Tori gate to the shrine of Amaterasu is a traditional Japanese sacred gesture.
