I mean it must have take a long while to light a goat or something similar on fire as a sacrifice. Do then the believers just go home come back the next day and keep lighting it till its down to ash? Or when it was burnt to a crisp did they use the meat to feed the villiage city or town?
what
Ok for example you live in a town who believes in Zeus Athena Dyonesius etc. So the whole town wants the grape crop come in so they can have alot of wine to drink or sell or whatever. So you sacrifice a goat or whatever by burning it.My question is does the town keep the fire going until its nothing but ash. Or do they just wait till its charred and the town eat the meat? If they just get rid of it how do they do it? If I wanted to leviticus sacrifice to the Christ God do I just build an alter and so on and so on. Because something tells me if you sacrifice something big like a human or something its going to take a while. Anything else?
Tangentially, I think my dad graduated from the grilling program from the same cullinary school as your sacrificers.
