Abstract
In his letters, Leo of Ohrid blames the Latins for four things: the use of Azymes
(unleavened breads in Eucharist), fasting on Saturdays during Lent, not chanting Alleluia
during Lent, and eating strangled meat (meat with blood). From these practices the first
two are “Judaic”, the third is practical ritual, and the fourth is pagan. Of course, from
all the accusations, Leo puts the emphasis on the use of unleavened breads, whereby he
sets the beginning of the question of the Azymes. This dispute will grow into a fierce
theological and dogmatic struggle between the Eastern and Western church tradition in
terms of what should be the bread (levened or unleavened) used in the Holy Eucharist.
This liturgical difference is one of the key theological questions that led to the schism in
1054. This article aims to present and analyze the profound theological arguments against
the use of the unleavened bread presented in the letters of Leo of Ohrid.
