ChaldeanCatholic Member Registered: 06/10/05 Posts: 147 Loc: USA	Hello, It's hold in the tradition of the Church of the East that their Eucharist traces back to the last supper ( a piece of Eucharist from the last Supper is taken and mixed with Eucharist after Jesus ascension. Basically, every time a new Church is built, the a piece of Eucharist has to be taken from an already established church. Does the Eastern Orthodox Church hold the same tradition?

It isn't a piece of the previous Eucharist though, it's the leaven that is carried over. I have heard, but not confirmed, that this has fallen into disuse among the Syriac Orthodox and Syriac Catholics, but is still practiced in the Malankarese counterparts.
