    Text - nyxetoile A communion wafer, according to the internet, is about .25g. Jesus was a healthy young man, who worked manual labor and walked everywhere. The average male in Biblical times was 5'1" and about 110 pounds so call it 50kg or 50,000 grams. So 200,000 wafers to make up a whole Jesus.

Reducing the wafer load by 6.75kg yields 43.25kg so call it 161,000 wafers or $2450 and change. exxos-von-steamboldt @danbensen danbensen Full Metal Eucharist ragnell The Unholy Union of Catholic Tumblr and Math Tumblr
