The term does not appear frequently in modern Bible translations, but was the usual word for unleavened bread in the early [[Catholic]] English [[Douay-Rheims Bible]].<br /> <br /> The adjectival form &quot;[[azymite]]&quot; was used as a term of abuse by [[Byzantine Rite]] [[Christians]] against [[Roman Rite]] Christians. The [[Orthodox Church]] has continued the ancient Eastern practice of using leavened bread for the [[Lamb (liturgy)|Lamb]] (Host) in the [[Eucharist]]. After serious theological disputes between Rome and the churches of the East, Latin use of unleavened bread, &#039;&#039;azymes&#039;&#039;, for the Eucharist—a point of [[liturgy|liturgical]] difference—became also a point of [[theology|theological]] difference between the two, and was one of several disputes which led eventually to the [[East–West Schism|Great Schism]] between [[Eastern Christianity|Eastern]] and [[Western Christianity|Western]] Christianity in 1054.&lt;sup&gt;[2]&lt;/sup&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> * 1.
