Lamb of God
This is a litany which is sung during the breaking of the bread. In the early church, the breaking of the bread could be lengthy
as all the bread was broken, so this litany could expand to be sung throughout this action. As communions became less
frequent and the bread became individual unleavened hosts instead of bread broken from one leavened loaf, the Lamb of
God (Agnus Dei) was shortened to three repetitions. Because some churches once again use bread which needs to be
broken, the litany is once again written so it can be expanded to fit the action.

El Cordero de Dios
Ésta es una letanía que se canta durante la fracción del pan. En las primeras etapas de la Iglesia, la
fracción del pan podía tomar mucho tiempo, ya que todo el pan era partido, así que la letanía se
podía alargar para cantarla mientras duraba esta acción. Dado que las comuniones se volvieron menos
frecuentes y el pan se convirtió en hostias individuales ázimas, en lugar de pan fragmentado o de una hogaza
de levadura, el Cordero de Dios (Agnus Dei) fue acortado a sólo tres repeticiones. Dado que algunas iglesias han
vuelto a utilizar pan que es necesario fragmentar, la letanía fue reescrita de manera que pueda alargarse para
adaptarse a cada caso.
