Bread and Flowers
This morning I joined a team of bakers in the church kitchen to make communion bread, called Prosphora in the Orthodox Church. Prosphora is Greek for "that which is offered." We were making three sizes of bread loaves today. All the many services around Pascha mean that we need to have a good supply ready in the freezer. Each loaf, large or small, is made in two parts, which are joined top to bottom and baked together to show the unity of the human and divine natures of Christ. Here they are…

Prosphora, Prosfora, Prosphoro, Prosforo. I have made bread on and off for our Divine Liturgies for many years, and have never been able to keep a good seal on the bread. I see the pot as a great gift to all novice and master prosfora bread makers who can 'get it right' from the start.

Below I've collected some resources about the leavened bread we use for the Eucharist that will come in handy when teaching the…

STAMPING BREAD -
One tradition that sets Christians apart from other religions is the celebration of the Eucharist, also known as the Lord’s Supper, or Communion. In an earlier post (click here), I talked about how the Eucharist is an offering to God.
Making Prosfora
Prosforo (Communion Bread) A religious seal (sfrayitha) stamps a special design on the prosforo before baking. During preparation of the Eucharist, the priest conducts the proskomithi in which he first cuts out the center of the stamped design that says "IC,XC, NIKA (Jesus Christ Conquers). It becomes the Body of Christ (the Lamb). Then the large triangle on the left is cut in honor of the Virgin Mary. The nine small triangles on the right are cut to commemorate the angels, prophets…
