Well, now that its been brought to my attention, I am very concerned :bigyikes:

No

But obviously there is enough care that there shouldn’t be too much water that it overwhelms the Precious Blood, right? I was just reading up on it and the difference I think is in Greek Churches, only a little water is added but in Slavic Churches a bigger amount of water is added, enough to heat the whole chalice. I’ve seen in videos from St. Elias that they do use the big container (forgot what its called) to pour in a good amount of water.

I only know Russians- must be enough to melt the ice forming on top of the precious blood in freezing cold temple.

The Orthodox have often criticized the RCs for being concerned with the precious blood being diluted. . The idea is foreign to theEastern mindset.
