Overview |
A prosphoron (Greek: πρόσφορον, offering) is a small loaf of leavened bread used in Orthodox Christian[1] and Greek Catholic (Byzantine) liturgies. The plural form is prosphora (πρόσφορα). The term originally meant any offering made to a temple, but in Orthodox Christianity and Byzantine Rite Catholicism it has come to mean specifically the bread offered at the Eucharist during Divine Liturgy.
