'''Prosphora''' (Greek for "offering") is bread prepared for use in the [[Divine Liturgy]]. A portion of it, known as the ''lamb'' (or ''amnon'') is cut out during the [[proskomedia]] which is consecrated during the Divine Liturgy to be the [[Eucharist]], while the rest is cut up for the [[antidoron]], the blessed bread distributed at the end of the liturgy.
