Zeon (Greek: “boiling”, “fervor”) is a liturgical action which takes place in the Divine Liturgy of the Rite of Constantinople, during which hot water is added to the chalice. The same term is used as a noun to describe the vessel used for this purpose. The historical beginnings of the ritual are unknown; however, it is clearly of ancient origin.Symbolically, the warm water represents the water which flowed from the side of Jesus at the time of the Crucifixion; and also the Christian belief that the Body of Christ is life-giving. Orthodox Christians believe that they partake of the Resurrected Body and Blood of Christ,and the warmth of the chalice is a reminder of that doctrine.
