communion wafers
Body of Christ
Communion wafers are thin, unleavened bread discs used in Christian Eucharist ceremonies, representing or becoming (depending on denomination) the body of Christ.
They're typically round, pale, and nearly flavorless—designed for ritual rather than nourishment.
The priest placed the communion wafer on her tongue.
