You've never heard of St. Francis of Assissi Mrpop? Geez. He's the one who literally expresses "tell it to the birds." SUPPOSEDLY he approached a flock of birds and preached to them...though what kind of divine blessing some birds got from that before proceeding to peck worms out of the dirt, I have no clue. And I think two things of such a deed: 1. Pointless and vain or 2. Untrue.
As for Saint Catherine's almighty experience...no one but her witnessed it. I'm stigmatizing right now. Look see? Look, can't ya? Can't? Good, 'cause I ain't.
The Passover is actually some kind of father to our celebration of the Lord's Supper (call it Euchrist)...it was on the Passover when the thirteen did dine.
But Mrpop...I have this nagging question, when is Jesus being literal and when is Jesus being figurative in his gospel-spreading? And again, literality and figuaritivity with the REST of the Bible?
Was Jesus being literal when he meant take, eat of my flesh, or being figurative? Christ also obeyed the Law to its fullest...and even suggesting cannibalism = sacrilege = death. So was it figurative? Was it literal? Does it matter? Isn't treating it like this just making it some vain and empty gesture, a ritual with no life? Dead Christianity, I would surmise.
