Product Details

Cotton bag for antidor, prosphora and artos made of 100% white cotton fabric, with embroidery. For easy carrying, the bag has a handle.

Embroidered on the bag are the words ΙΣ ΧΣ ΝΙΚΑ (Jesus Christ Conquers), and "ΛΑΒΕΤΕ ΦΑΓΕΤΕ" (TAKE AND EAT), which is a reference to Matthew 26:26-28:

While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”

Prosphora and antidoron

The name prosphora (Greek πρόσφορο) comes from the Greek word "προσφέρω" (to offer), in line with the Old Testament tradition of bread offering:

"Along with their fellowship offering of thanksgiving they are to present an offering with thick loaves of bread made with yeast" (Lev. 7:13)

A portion of the prosphora is used to prepare the antidoron (Greek αντίδωρο) during the Proskomedia, or Liturgy of Preparation. At the end of the liturgy, it is distributed instead of Holy Communion to the faithful who haven't been given one. Thus, "antidoron" means "instead of the gift": "αντί δώρο" - αντί του δώρου της Θείας Κοινωνίας (instead of the gift of Holy Communion).
