Nshkhar

Nshkhar (նշխար nšxar) is the communion bread used during mass (Badarak) in the Armenian Church. 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 (մաս mas), to the congregation. In some Armenian communities, this bread is baked especially for this purpose, but in others it may simply consist of lavash.

It always has a religious (Christian) image printed on top of it.
