The purpose of the organiza on is for Couples that are members of Saint Barnabas to join together socially at different venues. If interested in joining the Club or ge ng more informa on contact Don and Donna Hendricks, this year s presidents. You can contact them at or them at donnandon@bellsouth.net. fact that many monas c churches do not have a prominent tabernacle shapes the pa erns of liturgical prayer. Monas c communi es o en protect the ancient value of receiving from the same sacrifice, meaning that the communicants are assured that what they eat and drink in the Holy Mysteries actually comes from the same celebra on. It surprises many to learn that the Church does not foresee, nor does it provide for, Communion of the faithful from the reserved Sacrament. Liturgical laws have long defended your right to receive from the same sacrifice, the same Mass, that you a end. At one me, of course, the bread for the Eucharist was the ordinary bread of the day, except unleavened, probably prepared at home. It was broken and distributed to the faithful. Early on the loaf itself was referred to as the hos a in La n, meaning the sacrifice, the same word for the sacrificial animal in Jewish worship, and for Jesus as the Lamb of God. By giving his life on the cross, Jesus became the hos a for us. To this day in the Greek Church, one of the tasks of the priest s wife is to bake the bread for the Divine Liturgy, some mes in a bakery oven dedicated to that purpose and called a Bethlehem. Today s familiar individual hosts first appeared in the eleventh century at about the me when tabernacles were coming into use. The turn away from bready bread allowed the hosts to be reserved since they did not spoil like regular bread, and made the annual Easter duty counts easier. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
