Help[Facts] I just read the article, explaining the bread thing
in reply to a message by PriaposLovs
It explained a scene from the film *The Anchoress*...

...that I'd been wondering about. There's this scene where the women are baking bread, and one of the loaves is in the shape of a phallus. And I'd wondered about that, because this is supposed to be set in a provincial, church-dominated, 14th-century village. But after reading your Priapos article, it now makes sense.
Interesting reading, P.L.!

Much to the chagrin of the local religious authorities, several villages throughout Greece still host "phallic phestivals" every spring where both guys and gals walz around in prosthetic appendages, singing folk songs, drinking wine and enjoying nature :) Such festivities have been held since time immemorial...
