...The place where it fell was then cut out and burned.

It is the custom in many churches (including mine) to have a small rug that is brought out at the time of the distribution of the Gifts to the people. It is put just in front of the priest and so when people come to receive, they stand on the rug and if, God forbid, there is any accident or spill, it falls on the rug which then can be taken out separately and dealt with appropriately without burning the floor or cutting the carpet.
