AQUARII , a name given to the Christians who substituted See also:water for See also:wine in the See also:Eucharist . They were not a See also:sect, for we find the practice widely in See also:vogue at an See also:early See also:time, even among the orthodox . In See also:Greek they were called Hydroparastatae, or those who offer water . See also:Theodosius, in his persecuting See also:edict of 382, classes them as a See also:special sect with the Manicheans, who also eschewed wine . See EUCHARIST . |
