Nina asked:

No the wine in the common cup is blessed but not consecrated as the Blood of Christ.

Therefore if the wine spills it would need to be cleaned up from whatever it spilled onto in an appropriate way. eg the cloth used to wipe it up burned in an appropriate way afterwards; or the stained spot washed clean and the water from this poured onto some area that people do not walk on. This is what we do with our post-Baptismal water: pour it into an area in front of our church that is like a flower garden that no one ever walks on.

In Christ- Fr Raphael

Now it is too late...

and I did not know this... and my mother in law is not Orthodox so she did not know it either and I do not know what happened to the paper tissue she used to clean our skin.

Is it a sin? Should I confess this? Or is there anything to undo it?
