Why Prosforon?
Prosforon, as most Orthodox Christians know, plays a very important role in each and every Divine Liturgy. The word "prosforo" translates to Altar Bread,"an offering to God." In consuming prosforon, during communion, it becomes a part of us. It is consecrated during Divine Liturgy. Therefore, when we bake and offer the prosforon to Him, we offer it as a gift of our love for our Lord God. The preparation of prosforon begins with the preparation of the baker who must not only be physically clean, but also spiritually clean. Prayers for the baker and the baker’s family are said throughout the preparation. An icon, such as The Bread of Life, and a lighted candle is a good thing to have on your counter during the preparation. It instills utmost reverence. This is a spiritual event and not to be seen as a chore.
It is an honor to bake your Prosforon and know that it is served during the Divine Liturgy to all who accept communion. May God’s blessings shine upon you as you bake.
