Church of the East/ and Assyrian wedding traditions

[Paul Younan]

Hehehe - I've never heard it referred to as "Leaven from Heaven", but it rhymes nicely.

I've always wondered, but never asked, if any other church keeps a portion to mix in with the next batch? Or if they send a portion to a new church in another part of the world?

It's kinda special knowing that the bread we all partake of is somehow linked to each other. There are legends, of course, that this tradition began with the Apostles....however we have no way of knowing that for sure.

There is mention of it in records as far back as the 6th century, I believe, so regardless some of us are eating perhaps some molecules of bread that are 1,400 years old! <!-- s:lookround: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/lookround.gif" alt=":lookround:" title="Look Round" /><!-- s:lookround: -->
