SC - Re: Saxon Violets + Rose Sugar

If you look, it states exactly what they are- stamps for Eucharistic bread,
as part of the Christian ceremony of the Mass (bread and wine). I'd be very
interested in finding out whether the sacred bread at that time was leavened
or unleavened.

In the meantime, great site! Know of any more like it?
