Forgive me if this has been asked here before, But I'm looking for an explanation of what do the Orthodox churches do with the remaining bread and wine after the service. I have been aware that the Orthodox believe in the real presence, as Lutherans do, but not transubstantiation like the Roman Catholics, right?
We Lutherans believe in the Real Presence but I believe our churches are kinda shakey on how it's handled after the service. Each pastor we've had is different, too(I've been with our church a long time.)
The Wine is put back in the decanter, and the bread is put back in the container, but I always have felt that the elements aren't handled as reverently as I would like to see in our churches.
