It is traditional that oil, wine, wheat and five loaves of sweet bread, as the most basic elements of life, are used in this small prayer service.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #333333;\">This service is traditionally celebrated during the Vespers Service of a great feast day or at the conclusion of a regular Sunday Divine Liturgy.
