<P> A Host is a portion of bread used for Holy Communion in many Christian churches . In Western Christianity the host is often a thin, round unleavened wafer . </P> <P> In the Roman Rite, unleavened bread is used as in the Jewish Passover or Feast of Unleavened Bread . The Code of Canon Law, Canon 924 requires that the hosts be made from wheat flour and water only and recently made so that there is no danger of spoiling . </P> <P> Hosts are often made by nuns as a means of supporting their religious communities . However, in New Zealand, the St Vincent de Paul Society hires individuals with intellectual disabilities to bake, cut out and sort the bread, thereby offering paid employment to those who wouldn't have that option otherwise . </P> <P> The General Instruction of the Roman Missal § 321 recommends that "the eucharistic bread...be made in such a way that the priest at Mass with a congregation is able in practice to break it into parts for distribution to at least some of the faithful...The action of the fraction or breaking of bread, which gave its name to the Eucharist in apostolic times, will bring out more clearly the force and importance of the sign of unity of all in the one bread, and of the sign of charity by the fact that the one bread is distributed among the brothers and sisters ." </P>
