The word “AGAPÉ” (pronounced A-GAP-AY)

our story

From the Greek meaning, Unconditional Love. The early Christians once used it as a name for their “LOVE FEAST”.

“We eat to only appease our hunger, We drink only so much as it is good for our temperate persons to do so”
Quintus Septimus Florens Tertullianus
