Eucharist bread, also known as sacramental bread or altar bread, has a rich history dating back to the early Christian church. It is a central element of the Eucharist, symbolizing the body of Christ. Traditionally, it is made from wheat flour and water, and is unleavened to represent purity and the haste with which the Israelites fled Egypt. The process of making Eucharist bread is steeped in tradition and often involves skilled bakers and religious artisans. Today, the best versions of this sacred bread can be found in monasteries and convents, where time-honored recipes and meticulous preparation ensure its significance in religious ceremonies.
