Prosphora Workshop
Our rector Fr. John conducted a prosphora baking workshop for anybody who is interested.In the East we use leavened bread for the Eucharist, not hosts or "wafers," as some people say. To us, it is a different interpretation based on the Bible and the writings of the early Church Fathers.
What I found interesting is that at this prosphora workshop at Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Church in Baltimore, we had women from five countries represented and Russia was not one of them. Although we are a Russian church, we have members from at least ten different countries. Many do speak Russian as a first or second language and of these who speak Russian as a second language, English is generally their third language.
