It comes from the mystery religions ... it's pagan for sure....

He was the bread that came down from heaven, in the OT God gave them manna, in the NT God sent his son as the bread of life.
The rock that followed them was Christ.
Within the ark of the covenant they stored some manna.
Their was a shewbread table in the temple.
I think the eating and drinking of Christ is firmly embedded in the OT stories. Perhaps allegorical, maybe not.
And it was in Matthew that Jesus said that man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds forth from the mouth of God.
