Notes: Many years ago, people crossed their arms over their chests while praying. It is thought that originally pretzels were made by monks to resemble arms crossed in prayer. These little breads were called "little arms" or "bracellae." The Germans called the bread brezel or pretzel. Put a pretzel on each person's plate at dinner and read this prayer: "Lord, bless these breads which remind us of the early Christians who crossed their arms in prayer. May we always be reminded by the sight of these pretzels to pray to you each day with grateful hearts." Amen
