Yes, it was real in teeny weeny little glasses I didn't even know existed... I'm not sure if there was a grape juice option or not.

The minister commented on it first, he explained that the unleavened bread was to represent pure bread that hasn’t been puffed up with sin (leavening) yet, which is a germ reaction or in a sense contamination working in the dough.

The grape juice is used because the scripture said "The fruit of the vine", and not specifically fermented wine, and the fermentation process is the same type of contamination in the wine, as the leavening is in bread dough, so they prefer it to be pure fruit of the vine, and not defiled in any way.

Personally, it doesn’t matter to me, but I thought his comments were interesting.

I was kind of wondering about that...have you ever seen any indication that the last supper was using unleavened bread?
