Mnohaya lita!<\/p>\n ARTOS<\/strong><\/span>, is a <\/span>leavened bread that is blessed at the end of the services on Easter Sunday in Orthodox Church. The significance of the Artos is that it serves to remind all Christians of the events connected with the Resurrection of Christ. After His Resurrection, the Lord appeared to His disciples more than once, ate before them and blessed their meals. After the Lord ascended to Heaven, His disciples and other followers often met for common prayer and partaking of the Body and Blood of Christ. When they sat down to an ordinary meal (Agape) after the prayer services, they would leave a place at the head of the table empty for the invisibly present Lord and would lay a loaf of leavened bread (Artos) on that place. It is a custom among Orthodox Christians to this day to keep a portion of the Artos throughout the year and with due reverence and faith partake of it in time of illness or distress. It’s often eaten together with a drink of Holy Water.<\/p>\n \u00a0The Jr UOL<\/strong> would like to thank everyone who supposed the Easter Tag Sale!!
