Host

Hosts, in the context of the supply class Ecclesiastical Equipment, Furnishings, and Supplies, refer to the consecrated bread used in Christian religious ceremonies, particularly in the Catholic Church during the Eucharist or Holy Communion. The term "host" comes from the Latin word "hostia," which means "sacrifice." The hosts are typically round, unleavened wafers made from wheat flour and water. They are considered to be the body of Christ by believers and are distributed to the faithful during the Mass.
