Manna actually means “what is it?” in Hebrew. It was bread from heaven that
sustained and transformed the Israelites while they journeyed through the
wilderness more than 3000 years ago. Manna was small, round, and pearly white in
appearance coming every day as fresh as the morning dew. The taste was that of a
wafer with honey and fresh oil. It was eaten and enjoyed every day for 40 years
until the children of Israel entered to possess the “good land.”
