Nazarene Christians

I belong to a subculture of which many people belong to. I am a Nazarene Christian and a strong believer in God. Being a Christian I get to see in person what it’s all about. The place of meeting for Christians is usually a church on a Sunday morning, although some groups may meet at someone else’s house to talk about scripture on various nights of the week. One ritual that we perform, and is probably one of the most important things to join in on is communion. Communion consists of the eating and drinking of bread and wine. Now I know you are thinking that something doesn’t sound right here so I’ll explain. The bread symbolizes Christ’s body being broken for us and the wine is a symbol of the blood He shed for us. Going to church on Sunday, praying, and getting baptized are also common rituals of the Christian subculture. Nazarene Christians also behave in a certain way, or at least we are supposed to. We have a set of rules that are called The Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments are found in the Bible. The Bible is pretty much the Christian guideline for life.
