Prayers over the five loaves

Service of Artoklasia
January 17, 2023

- Fr. R. Joseph Collins -




The service of Artoklasia was celebrated by Father Joseph and Father Michael. Artoklasia, which means “breaking of bread” is a special prayer service offered by an individual or family typically on a Feast day or special family occasion. The service takes place at the end of the Divine Liturgy and it includes hymns, petitions and prayers for health, well-being and strength to endure all of life’s difficulties. The five loaves are reminiscent of the five loaves that Jesus Christ blessed in the desert and by which five thousand of His followers were fed.
