Will someone please explain to me the various Orthodox ritual breads?
I'm a Catholic, so we of course have the consecrated Host that, through transsubstantiation, becomes the Body of Christ. We recognize the analogous Orthodox Mysteries. But I've been reading a lot about Orthodoxy lately (including the last post here), and have read about various other breads such as antidoron and prosphora. Will someone please enumerate these kinds of breads and explain their significance in a way a Catholic can understand?
Thank you!
