English:
Artoklasia (“breaking of bread”) service, during the Feast of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary, with hymns, petitions and prayers for health, well-being and strength. 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. In turn, these five loaves signified the
five books of Moses
(
Pentateuch
)
, according to St Augustine.
