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.
