Description
Regarding the shape of hosts, canonist Dom Augustine, O.S.B., commentates on the 1917 Code Can. 815 (= 1983 Can. 924):
As to the form of the bread, round hosts are used in the Latin Church, whereas the Oriental Church employs square hosts.9 The size of the host for Holy Mass and exposition in the Ostensorium should be from two to three and of the particles for distribution about one inch. The altar breads should be neither too thick nor too thin.10
