Question #86
of An Orthodox Catechism
Question
Are then the Bread and Wine made the very Body and Blood of Christ?
Answer
No, verily; but as the Water of Baptism is1 not turned into the Blood of Christ, but is only a Signe and Pledge of those things that are sealed to us in Baptism; so neither is the Bread of the Lords Supper the very Body2 of Christ, although according to the manner of Sacraments, and3 that Form of speaking of them which is usual unto the Holy Ghost, the Bread is called the Body of Christ.
