The bread that is offered in the Eucharist to be sanctified and become the Body of Christ is called Prosphora. The person engaged in the preparation of the Offertory must be faithful, devout and repentant of his sins. During the preparation of the leaven, reverent silence is observed, prayer is said, candles are lit and incense is burned. In the monasteries of Mount Athos, the monks undertake the production of the Holy Bread.
