A cloth consecrated by the bishop, showing the burial of Christ; the Liturgy cannot be celebrated without it.
Antimisul (din greacă: „în loc de masă”) este o bucată de pânză dreptunghiulară, semnată de episcop, în care sunt cusute adesea părticele de moaște. Stă împăturit pe Sfânta Masă și se desface în timpul Liturghiei.
Prin antimis, episcopul îi dă preotului binecuvântarea de a sluji în acea biserică.
