ritual items

Ceremonial worship tools

Objects used in religious ceremonies, spiritual practices, or formal observances.

Ritual items range from sacred vessels and vestments to candles, incense, and symbolic implements: The altar was arranged with ritual items for the blessing ceremony.

The phrase encompasses anything employed deliberately in rites—whether elaborate chalices or simple stones placed with intention.
