Pentecost is a bread feast, a feast of leaven (Leviticus 23:17). Animals are brought as offerings, plenty of them, but these are brought “with the bread,” accompaniments to the bread rather than the other way round.
It’s quite fitting, then, that after the leaven of the Spirit came upon the church at Pentecost, they went from house to house “breaking bread.”
