Bread – So you never go hungry.
Wine – So that joy and prosperity may reign forever.
Salt – So there is always spice in your life.
And a Candle – So you always have light.
I’ve never heard of that but that’s an intresting story. I’ll have to google it and if I find it I’ll post it.
The other item was tin of wd40.
