communion cups
Small sacramental goblets
Communion cups are the small vessels used to serve wine or grape juice during Christian communion services.
Individual cups—typically disposable plastic or small glass—replaced shared chalices in many Protestant churches during the twentieth century, driven by hygiene concerns.
The deacons passed trays of communion cups down each pew.
