The Feast of the Ages, 20th Course: Block Cheese “Neapolitan”

This recipe is the 20th in a 21-week series, The Feast of the Ages, developed to share our faith with our readers, realizing that as much as we love food, our faith is an even more important and bigger part of our lives. We thought it would be fun to bring the two together.

In Revelation 19:9, the Bible says, â€œBlessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!â€ The Bible refers to the church, or the Christian body of believers, as the â€œbride of Christ.â€ The wedding supper, or feast, represents a time of great celebration when Jesus is united with the church in heaven.

What a celebration this will be! Imagine what the elements of the greatest party you could plan or attend would be like. The atmosphere would be comfortable and very inviting. People would want to be there because each person would be accepted for who he/she is. Each person would be made to feel special and everyone would feel included and a part of the activities. The fellowship and interactions between people would be real. The food would have the freshest ingredients and the flavors would be perfect. There would be no concern about the effects of pesticides or chemicals used in the growing process of the food. There would be something for everyone, and the individual taste preferences of every guest would be completely satisfied. This is what we would anticipate the wedding supper of the Lamb to be like.

The most formal of feasts includes 21 courses. When we thought about what the Wedding Feast of the Lamb might look like, a celebration for the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, we thought it could definitely involve 21courses! We thought it would be fun to provide a sample 21-course â€œFeast of the Agesâ€ menu, with a different recipe a week over 21 consecutive weeks.

We offer cheese for the 20th course:
