breaking bread.

Meena_Ameen

Does anyone know why the priest breaks the body of Christ the way that he does? I know their is a certain way he must do it, does anyone know the wisdom behind it?

Hi Meena_Ameen,

Check this link from The Spirituality of the Rites of the Holy Liturgy in the Coptic Orthodox Church - by H.G. Bishop Mettaous:
http://tasbeha.org/content/books/Spirituality_of_Rites_Bishop_Mettaous/#189

And go down to the section talking about the breaking of the bread.
Does that help?

thanks.
