- n. In the early church: The sacrament of the Lord's supper.
- n. Later, the name of the portion of the eucharist sent to the sick, or by bishops to other bishops and churches as a token of Christian love. These practices were early discontinued, because of the growing reverence for the elements.
- n. Later still, the name given to the unconsecrated bread not needed in the eucharist, but blessed and distributed as a substitute for the eucharist among those members of the congregation who, though they had the right to take the communion, did not commune. This custom still exists in the Greek Church. Also called antidoron (which see). Also eulogy.
Examples
“The word eulogia has a special use in connexion with monastic life.”
The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 5: Diocese-Fathers of Mercy
“It is called “The cup of blessing,’’ or “The cup of thanksgiving;” — the word eulogia is used promiscuously for”
“This bread is called eulogia, because it is blessed and because a blessing accompanies its use; it is also called antidoron, because it is a substitute for the doron, the real gift, which is the Holy Eucharist.”
“And this custom comes from the old Papal custom eulogia, which was loaves of bread blessed by the pope and distributed or here.”
“(June-July, 45 B.C.) contain the Greek word eulogon or eulogia (Letters to Atticus, XIII. 5, 6, 7, 22).”
“Their only fault was perhaps that they demanded eulogia from their priests when the latter came to synods.”
“Eulogia is the term used by St. Paul (I Cor., x, 16) in references to the Eucharist: "the chalice of eulogia [benediction] which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ?”
The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 5: Diocese-Fathers of Mercy
“At Rome they carried not only the eulogia (q.v.), or blessed bread, when occasion required, but also the Blessed Eucharist from the Pope's Mass to that of the priests whose duty it was to celebrate in the churches”
“It differs from the eulogia mentioned above, because it is not a part of the oblation from which the particle to be consecrated in the Mass is selected, but rather is common bread which receives a special benediction.”
“Persons to whom the eulogia was refused were considered outside the communion of the faithful, and thus bishops sometimes sent it to an excommunicated person to indicate that the censure had been removed.”
