ALPHARETTA, GA (CBS ATLANTA) -
Even the pretzels have started Tebowing.
The Philly Pretzel Factory in Alpharetta has created a praying pretzel in the image of Tim Tebow's favorite pose. Owners say sales have been brisk today.
Tebow's Denver Broncos will take on the New England Patriots tonight at 8 p.m. on CBS Atlanta. ==================================================
NOTE: address and phone to order are included in linked article
Really?
Before you know it they will be taking communion using the pretzel as the host.
” Denver Broncos will take on the New England Patriots tonight at 8 p.m. on CBS Atlanta. “
Not quite sure that the Broncos took on the Patriots on Saturday. Instead, they rolled over for the Patriots.
Ye are the salt of the earth ....
“....they rolled over for the Patriots.”
Yeah, that was horrible. Man I really hate the Pats. But the other games were good. Hubby and the kid want a Giants-New England rematch. Me, I want the ravens to win it all, but it will be bad juju if it is NY vs. B’more.
Thank for sharing , love it
Funny because the original shape of the pretzel was supposed to be inspired by prayer. People use to pray crossing their arms with their hands on their shoulders. It is said that monks made pretzels in the crossed over shape to be reminiscent of praying to give to children who said their prayers well.

Thanks for noting that!
will the pretzel be unbroken...something like that.
Now i want a nice big soft pretzel, delicious and from a pretzel seller in NYC in the bad old days, in the winter, toasty and salty, really a lot I want one!
A lot of evangelicals wouldn’t have a problem with that, except that it would be so obviously gimmicky. I’ve seen and heard of a whole smorgasbord of denominations, but never one that gimmicked the communion.
It’s a joke son dontcha get it wink wink foghorn leghorn
It’s just that it is considered one of the holiest events a Christian can take part in, by just about any denomination. Even baptisms are less solemn.
I personaly don't know any one who would not be offended if someone gave them this praying tbow for communial bread.
They’d ask who the fool elder was who did it.
Can I blame you? Yum, making me hungry for one too.
