(What / Who) does Abouna represent when he holds the orban and the cross over his head during the procession of the lamb

  • The Lamb: Represents Jesus Christ, the pure sacrifice for sins, echoing John the Baptist's proclamation.
  • The Orban (Holy Bread): A round bread symbolizing Christ as the eternal Son of Righteousness (Alpha & Omega), marked with symbols of His Passion (nails, thorns, side spear) and the twelve disciples.
  • The Cross: Signifies Christ's death and resurrection, the source of salvation.
  • The Priest's Action: By holding the Orban (representing Christ's body) with the cross, the priest embodies Christ, presenting Himself as the perfect offering, inviting the faithful to follow Him to the Jordan (baptism) and partake in His saving grace.   
  • When Abouna (the priest) holds the orban (Holy Bread) and cross over his head during the Procession of the Lamb in the Coptic Orthodox Liturgy, he represents Jesus Christ Himself, presenting Himself as the pure, sacrificial Lamb of God, carrying our sins, and leading us into His redemptive death and resurrection, fulfilling the Old Testament foreshadowing. It's a powerful visual of Christ as the "Lamb of God" (Aghnosh) who takes away the sins of the world, preparing the bread for consecration as His Body.
