Prosforo Booking

A Prosforo is a loaf of leavened bread offered at the Divine Liturgy. ‘Prosoforo’is a Greek word which means ‘offering’, an offering which we make to God. Bread is also used to represent Jesus Who is the Bread of Life, of which whoever partakes, shall never hunger again. The bread is leavened (made with yeast) as a symbol of rising in the resurrection. It is recommended that you submit a list of names to the priest when offering the loaf. One column should be entitled “Living” and the other “Departed”. These names are then commemorated by the priest during the preparation of Holy Communion to ask for health, forgiveness and life everlasting.
