liturgical vessels
Worship service implements
Liturgical vessels are the containers used in religious worship, particularly in Christian traditions.
The term encompasses chalices for wine, patens for communion bread, ciboria for storing consecrated hosts, and similar ritual objects.
These vessels are typically made of precious metals and treated as sacred: The priest carefully purified the liturgical vessels after mass.
