A spear is a double-edged knife used by the priest during the Liturgy. The special shape of the object really resembles a spear, since the history of the appearance of such an object in the church tells of a warrior who pierced the body of the crucified Christ with his military spear.

The liturgical rite starts the same every time - with a reminder of the death and burial of Christ. During the reading of the hours in the altar, everything necessary for the Proskomidia is prepared, such as vessels, wine and bread for communion. To turn the prosphora into a lamb, the priest takes a spear and trims its edges. The core remains for breaking and symbolizes the Body of Christ. The more parishioners gather in the church, the greater the prosphora should be. The spear is chosen according to its size.

Temples use a whole range of spears, as each has its own task. It is convenient for the little ones to remove particles from the prosphora while reading parishioners' notes about the health and repose of their loved ones. At the end of the Liturgy, all particles are placed in the chalice. The largest lamb harvested.

The spear is made of various materials, which is the same for the handle and for the cutting element itself, but steel is most often used for the blade. Stylistic solutions can be quite diverse and are chosen according to personal preferences or in accordance with existing objects, such as spoons and chalices. When choosing church utensils, it is recommended to pay attention to the strength and sharpness of the copy, because its use implies a long period.
