Text: Sobre’l Congres Eucarístic. (About the Eucharistic Congress)
– They say there were fifty thousand of them…
– Wow! I’d never have guessed there were so many of that blessed lot!
A play on words with “hostia” meaning “host” or “communion wafer”, in Catalan, and the expression “de l’hostia” – literally “of the host” – which means “tons of” or “loads of”.
