Cavanagh Altar Bread 1-3-8 White Communion Wafers 750 per Container

The Cavanagh Altar Bread reflects a reverent approach to liturgical tradition, using only flour and water as the base. Through time-honored methods, the dough is spread between flat rectangular plates and moved through a gas-fired oven, producing wafer-thin sheets of pure white bread designed for ceremonial use.

A humidifier lightly dampens the sheets to support clean, uniform cutting into circles. As wafers are formed, a turning drum of dyes imprints a cross design, giving each piece a recognizable symbol for ritual use while preserving a consistent edge and thickness.

• Packaging: presented in a 750-count bottle for convenient service
