For Catholics, this change is not merely “Symbolic”. During ordination, the Priest receives the power to literally turn ordinary Bread into the Body of Christ. During communion, Catholics receive the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ. According to Catholic teaching, only baptized Catholics in the state of grace can receive Holy Communion.

A better way to put is that the priest is in persona Christi or in person of Christ. That mean when the priest is consecrating the bread and wine . His a substitute for Christ, his acting and representing the person of Christ who makes himself present with his truly effective action.

I love eating the cuttings from these. Nuns used to give my aunt the leftover wafer fragments from cutting the hosts when she used to work for an archdiocese. For the majority Catholics here, rice is not sacramental but it is considered a offensive to waste this essential staple as it is still God's blessing. This traditional value has been drilled into us since childhood, so in a sense rice is semi-sacred, and it was to our animist ancestors and remains so for various Indigenous Peoples throughout our islands.

It is a process which is done in a very solemn and respectful manner since the first century A.D. when the Assyrians (original people of what is today Iraq) embraced Christianity in their land Ashur (Assur) today called Iraq.

Anglicans serve the host followed by the wine, but Catholic churches often do not serve the wine, But when she sniffed the host before putting it into her mouth, it seemed a bit strange to me.

Amazing! I always thought that there was a massive factory in the heavens where pieces of Christ's body were magically reproduced, processed into communion wafers, sent to a heavenly warehouse/distribution center, and sent to all of the Catholic churches on Earth.

In Armenian Apostolic Church it is made by the priest and/or deacons or mayby prists wife on Saturday evening, but never in a factory. Maybe the reason is that for the mass the priest uses about 6-8 thick wafers dipped in wine, and he gives to each believer just a small piece from the wafer. So it is enough for everyone.

I used to partake them in new aspotle church.

We ortodoxe Christian’s we have an actual loaf of bread cut into tiny pieces.The bread is special and it’s in the shape of a square with the cross on top and on the four corners it has the words Is Hr Ni Ka

Well, There's a lot of difference between a piece of Unleavened bread and a tiny wafer. Whenever Christ used the words.. I am the bread of life, unless you eat the flesh of Son Of Man ..., I am the living bread that has come down from heaven - the word He uses for chewing (eating) in Greek it almost means to keep munching upon..( like those animals who go on munching for hours..). For convenience sake and to facilitate large gatherings, the church has been using a thin film of wafer that dilutes in seconds once comes in contact with the tongue (it has spiritual significance).. however for a while sometimes it can be a good practice to have it as per the original pattern (apart from some retreat time 'pasch' celebration among private groups). I think it calls for restoring the dignity it deserves too. (Just my personal perspective).

I wonder wether this bakery sells their communion bread to protestant communities as well.

its done inside the church by Monks or priest in Ethiopian Orthodox church. Not in a factory

🇻🇦 The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the most beautiful and greatest worship that Catholics can offer to God. Christ founded only ONE Church in 33 AD, and only the Catholic Church can trace its roots back to Saint Peter in an unbroken line of papal succession. It was the Catholic Church that brought the message of Christ to men. It was the Catholic Church that civilized the world. For this, the Catholic Church deserves the gratitude of the world today. 💐💐💐

Cool to see how they were made. However, I wish the documentary truly highlighted that this is not simply a sacred bread or holy food. Yes in different religions there are sacred and holy foods but what sets the Eucharist apart is that on consecration it becomes the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ. It is not merely symbolic.

Since the formation of the church, leavened bread was used to make the Eucharist. In the gospels, the word ARTOS (άρτος) is used for the bread used in the last supper. The Greek word ARTOS literally means LEAVENED BREAD. The apostles used leavened bread, so did all the early Holy fathers. Additionally, the Last Supper was held before the Hebrew Passover, in which it is customary for the Jews to eat only unleavened bread. This is evident as the high priests would not be allowed to make trials during passover. So Jesus was most likely arrested, tried and crucified before passover. The church that was founded by Jesus Christ two thousand years ago is continued today only in the Eastern Orthodox Church, as it has not dared to alter anything handed down to us by the Holy fathers, the Holy disciples, the Holy Bible and Jesus Christ himself.

I find it a bit hard to see what is destined to be the Holy Sacrament is made in such a trivial manner, industrialised, packaged like we do with biscuits, devoid of sacred thought or prayer and so distant from the handmade bread that Jesus took in His holy hands. I say this because in my tradition one has to lead a holy life in order to be able to kneed the bread destined for consecration; a candle is lit and incense offerings with prayer accompanies the preparation. Not in a busy room , but in a silent room with devotion and fear. Blessed water is used. A seal, as was the Jewish and proto- Christian tradition, is used to stamp the top of the bread loaf. The loaf consists of two levels- symbolising the rising of Christ from the dead. This we prepare in utensils kept solely for this sacred devotional act. We solemnly take the bread to Church, with a list of names of our departed and a list for the living ( for health of mind and body). The body of Christ is taken from this loaf, from its centre, where the name of Christ is stamped. I hope devout Catholic nuns and monks have a tradition of making the host by hand and through prayer….

they are not "wafers", and they do not "symbolize". Please be more respectful.
