How is communion given in a Byzantine Church?
During communion, both the Body and Blood of Christ are given to the person. Rather than wafers, the Byzantine Catholics use little chunks of bread cut from a loaf, which is usually baked by some of the parishioners. The bread is put in the chalice with the wine and is gently placed into the person’s mouth with a gold spoon. Unlike Roman/Latin Catholic Churches, Byzantine Catholics do not say, Amen after receiving Communion.
