Hi all,

I guess the term pre-Christian in is not really what I meant - actually the song (the "Soul Cakes" part) looks back to a pre-Christian time and was written during the Christian era by someone who still held the non-Christian tradtions close to her/his heart. Thee ae, of course, many songs that have a mixture of Pagan and Christian becasue of the assimilation of indiginous religions into Christianity. I'd just like to have an alternate line because that line stands out like a beacon in the middle of the song. Guess Im write something of my own - unless someone else would like a crack at it? Pax
