Nshkhar (Armenian: նշխարnšxar) is the communion bread used during mass (Badarak) in the Armenian Church.[1] A blessed but unconsecrated version may also be given out by a priest at special occasions, such as a house blessing.
At the end of mass, deacons or other church officials will hand out portions of a blessed unleavened bread, known as mas (Armenian: մասmas), to the congregation. In some Armenian communities, this bread is baked especially for this purpose, but in others it may simply consist of lavash.
