In the past, individuals would offer a small gift, such as bread, to their church leader instead of donating a portion of their earnings to the church. This gift was referred to as a maine-port.
The maine-port was a substitute for tithes in medieval England, where parishioners could make a small payment to their rector instead. This payment could be in the form of goods like loaves of bread. It allowed people to fulfil their obligation to the church without giving up a significant portion of their resources. The maine-port was particularly beneficial for poorer parishioners who couldn’t afford to give a full tithe. The example provided demonstrates how the maine-port functioned in reality.
