Antidoron & Prosphora
It was explained by our hieromonk that only that portion that is cut away from the lamb is antidoron (in the Russian tradition), that portion is reserved and generally given to those Orthodox who did not commune or to be taken to those that could not attend. The remaining loaves (after their use in the preparation) are then broken and provided to everyone, Orthodox and non-Orthodox alike after Communion. This is termed prosphora. I am not sure how universal this is within the Russian tradtion, so I was hesitant about noting this in the article under the Preparation &/or Communion/Dismissal section. Thoughts ? --[[User:RdrChristopher|Rdr. Chris]] 08:32, 26 Jan 2005 (CST)
 
:My initial response is to recommend that for an article on [[antidoron]] or [[prosphora]]. Also, if I recall discussions on this subject correctly, the Greek practice uses one large loaf, not five separate loaves. My experience is that the bread given out is termed antidoron indiscriminately (and I'm OCA, so I'm mostly familiar with the Russian tradition, less with others). Again, I would probably put that in separate article myself. Anyone else? --[[User:Basil|Basil]] 09:10, 26 Jan 2005 (CST)
