Prosphora (Gr. “offering”) is the loaf of holy bread an Orthodox priest uses to prepare the Eucharist. In this guide, we teach you everything you need to know about preparing Prosphora for an Eastern Orthodox Divine Liturgy.
We recommend baking the Friday or Saturday before the Sunday on which you will offer it. The Orthodox prepare the Prosphora on these days to remember the time when Christ was taken down from the cross and prepared for burial. If, however, you cannot bake on these days for whatever reason, you can bake whenever it fits your schedule.
