Making a sacrament program is a long, complicated process. It takes nearly three quarters of a year from start to finish. First, the trees are chosen individually from the north side of the mountain so that their pulp will be strong. Then a group of sanctified termites are brought in to chew the tree down.

Once the trees have been felled, and the limbs removed, they are carried to the processing factory by groups of carpenter ants. There, the trees are turned into pulp, mixed with saliva from consecrated queen ants, and finally flattened by being laid on by elephants.

Many more steps are then required to print and distribute the sacrament programs, not to mention all the work to gather speakers, musical numbers, etc. It’s an arduous process, but for those involved in bringing it to light, it’s a lifelong source of joy.
