Wednesday, August 6 | Greco-Roman Banquets and the Passover Wine

August 6, 2025 · 31 min

What did wine mean in the ancient world? Today, we travel back to the first-century world of Jesus to explore the cultural backdrop of wine at Greco-Roman banquets and Jewish Passover meals. From communal drinking customs to symbolic covenant rituals, we examine how the use of wine in both pagan and sacred contexts shaped the early Christian understanding of celebration, reverence, and restraint.
