Emmaus - Blessing Before/After Meals HistoryThe tradition of singing grace before and after meals comes from the Benedictines who prayed God's blessing before the meal and thanked God for the blessing of the food and fellowship after the meal. Various words have been written for the meal graces, and those words spread throughout various three-day movements around the world. Singing blessings before and after meals has been a tradition in Emmaus since its inception.
