Document Summary
Incarnation, eucharist, & art: catholicism, protestantism, & more in babette"s feast . The embodiment of a spirit, person, or quality in human form. The perfect instantiation of such a spirit, person, or quality. Theologically or christianly speaking, the idea that the divine or god has become a particular human being, namely, the man jesus christ. Or the idea that god pervades and inhabits human being in a way that allows it to realize its full potential. Sacrament (mystery) means by which christians partake in the mystery of christ, which refers fundamentally to the incarnation of the divine in the human, and which is dependent upon the church, as the body of christ. This communication between the divine and the human, which humans are thought to receive grace, occurs through certain symbolic acts: note especially here the washing of baptism and the meal of the eucharist. Latin sacramentum, not used to translate the greek musterion, mystery for swiss.
