Preparation of communion bread

Marina Aleksandrovna, Olesya Leonidovna, Lyudmila Vasilievna and Elena Vladimirovna are well known to many parishioners of our church as cooker of communion bread. In winter and summer, on the eve of the holidays and on ordinary days they bake communion bread, without which the Divine workship is impossible, Communion is unthinkable.

Not all believers know for certain that the communion bread symbolizes the bread of the Last Supper, which Jesus Christ once shared between the disciples. Outwardly, it is a small round cookie, on the upper side of which you can see a cross with equal sides and letters in the corners: IS XI NI KA. Such an inscription also has its own meaning and decoding, and translates as "Jesus Christ wins." A communion bread is a seal of the image of the Lord, it must be used carefully and very cautiously.

And for the holiday of the Resurrection of Christ our cooker bakes artos. This especial bread the whole bright week locates in the most honorable place - in front of the open Royal Doors.

The baking of a communion bread is rather laborious deal, therefore we can only wish God's help to our cookers in this responsibility.
