It occurred to me today during the Liturgy of the Eucharist, when I saw the celebrant drop a piece of the Host into the Chalice, that this was another connection to Genesis.
Just as Adam and Eve sinned with food, Jesus, as food, saves us. Jesus in the form of transubstantiated food redeems us.
It ends as it began--the circle of life, is completed.
