breaking bread.
Does anyone know why the priest breaks the body of Christ the way that he does? I know their is a certain way he must do it, does anyone know the wisdom behind it?

Check this link from The Spirituality of the Rites of the Holy Liturgy in the Coptic Orthodox Church - by H.G. Bishop Mettaous:

And go down to the section talking about the breaking of the bread.
Does that help?
thanks.
