"It is said that during the time of the Imams, certain close followers [had] secretly gathered for spiritual brotherhood rituals in which wine was consumed in a sacred context. These gatherings have been compared to the Last Supper of Jesus, involving a symbolic and spiritually charged drink. … If wine is a “Servant of Light,” then it reveals both the light and the darkness within us."
