Blessed bread

Gheorghe and Silviuca Gherman live, with their daughter, in Sarbi, a small village in the Maramures county, Romania. Every sunday they prepare a special bread for the church, bread that will be blessed and given to the faithful for the communion. A symbol that means "Jesus Christ prevails" is made on the bread using a stamp called "pecetar". It is necessary to have a special blessing by a priest in order to be allowed to prepare the holy bread. In the Gherman family both mother and daughter have this permission.
