| The home of Motria Andriiivna Perepechai. Her husband died recently and this is the booklet which she submits to the church when she wants a memorial service performed for him. On top of the booklet is a prosvorka or bread. This is used both as part of the Eucharist and eaten separately after the service. Under normal circumstances, only those without sin partake of the Eucharist. This means children and those who have just been to confession. Everyone, whether or not they partake of the Eucharist, can take a piece of prosvorka at the end of the service. For most commemorative services or readings, the person who requests the service or reading submits the booklet such as the one here and payment, which can be money inserted in the booklet, or food placed next to it.
