antidoron
Sign in to saveAlso known as eulogia
The antidoron (, '''') is ordinary leavened bread which is blessed but not consecrated and distributed in certain Eastern Orthodox Churches and certain Eastern Catholic Churches that use the Byzantine Rite. It comes from the remains of the loaves of bread (prosphora) from which portions are cut for consecration as the Eucharist during the Divine Liturgy. The word Ἀντίδωρον means "instead of gifts", i.e., "instead of the Eucharistic gifts".

El antidoron (griego: Ἀντίδωρον, Antídōron) es un pan con levadura normal que se bendice pero no se consagra y se reparte en la iglesia ortodoxa y otras confesiones cristianas. Procede de los restos de la pieza de pan (prosfora) de la que se cortan trozos para consagrarlos como Eucaristía en la Divina Liturgia. Las iglesias orientales católicas del rito bizantino también tienen la costumbre de bendecir y distribuir antidoron.
