Communion Bread/Wafers

A host is a portion of bread used for Holy Communion in many Christian churches. In Western Christianity the host is often a thin, round unleavened wafer.

The word 'host' is derived from the Latin, hostia, which means 'sacrifice'. The term can be used to describe the bread both before and after consecration, though it is more correct to use it after consecration - "altar bread" being preferred before consecration. Western theology teaches that at the Words of Institution the bread is changed or altered (known as either transubstantiation or transignification according to tradition or denomination) into the Body of Christ, while Eastern theology sees the epiclesis as no less necessary.

Here at North East Church Supplies we offer our Altar Breads in both white and wholemeal and feature sealed edges and single cross pattern designs where applicable.

​

A massive range of sizes and styles available - Wafers for the people, clergy, concelebration and Low Gluten varieties.
