Both Catholics and later Protestants yearned to practice their faith at home. For both, the Last Supper held significance as it was then that Jesus requested the Apostles to drink wine and partake of bread, transfigured respectively into the blood and the flesh of the Lord. Catholics believed that the Transfiguration took place for real, hence their use of tin “Hansekanne” flagons with a pilgrim’s badge or devotional plaques inside them, most often with a scene of the Crucifixion. Protestants treated the Transfiguration in purely symbolic terms and used clay jugs with the scene of the Crucifixion depicted on the outside surface. Moreover, there is a clay plate with a scene of the Crucifixion, which presumably served to sacralize the bread that it held.
