Margarita [1]
( Μαργαρῖτις , Margaritum), The Pearl, was the name given in the Greek Church to the vessel in which the consecrated host was kept. Margaritue, on the other hand, designated the pieces of the host which the priests preserved in a special vessel for the use of the sick. These pieces were dipped in consecrated wine, and given to the sick with a spoon. See Du Fresne, Gloss. Latin. 2:510.
