What Is
Prosphoro (Proforo
(
Greek
):
πρόσφορο
,
Qurbān (
Arabic
):
قربان
)
?
As most Orthodox Christians know,
prosforo
plays a very important role in each and every
Divine Liturgy
.
The word “
prosforo
” translates to “altar bread” (holy bread) and is “an offering to God.”
In consuming prosforo during communion, it becomes a part of us.
Each
prosforo
is consecrated during the
Divine Liturgy
.
When we bake and offer the
prosforo
to Him, we offer it as a gift of our love for our Lord God.
The preparation of
prosforo
begins with the preparation of the baker, who should be both physically and spiritually clean.
Prayers for the baker and the baker’s family are said throughout the preparation.
An icon, such as “
The Bread of Life”
,
and a lighted candle are good to have on your counter during the preparation of these items which instills utmost reverence.

Testimonials
:
“The prosfora pan has made it easy to make your offering and bring it to church for the Holy Eucharist. I tried the pan myself and the results are amazing. I am only using prosfora made with the pan for the proskomide because now I can have consistency in the bread and a beautiful seal to make the amnos from.”
– Father P., Marietta, Georgia

“When Tina
(The Gifted Pan creator)
first told me of her idea to make a prosfora pot that had the seal in the bottom, I was immediately excited. I have made bread on and off for our Divine Liturgies for many years, and have never been able to keep a good seal on the bread. With Tina’s pot I had hope. Tina lent me one of the prototype pots and on the first and second attempts at making bread, the seal came out as good as any prosfora bread I have ever used in our services. I see the pot as a great gift to all novice and master prosfora bread makers who can ‘get it right’ from the start. The pot is solid, and I love the fact that it has a nonstick coating as the bread seal fell right out of the pot when it had baked. Thank you Tina for following through with your inspired idea.”
– Father Jacob Myers, St. John the Wonderworker Orthodox Church, Atlanta, Georgia
(May Father Myer’s memory be eternal.)

“Dear Tina
(The Gifted Pan creator)
,
“Your pan truly is a gift. I love it so much that I’ve ordered 2 more (we usually do 3 loaves per weekend).
“I’ve been baking prosforon for years, too, and have always been made anxious and frustrated by the unpredictability of the final product. I agree that interferes with the prayerful attitude we should bring to this offering. You’ve freed me to be single-minded and prayerful as I make this bread. Many thanks and blessings!”
– Carol F., Maryland
