antídoron
aντίδωρον
Antídoron (literally ‘not a gift’ as in ‘not part of the gifts of the Eucharist’) is bread that has been blessed, but not consecrated as a sacrament, so anyone at an Orthodox service can partake in fellowship after a service.
Some believe only people who have fasted should eat it (hence you can often find it for sale at pilgrimage sites).
