sacred vessels
Consecrated ritual receptacles
Sacred vessels are containers used in religious rituals, particularly those holding consecrated elements during worship.
In Christianity, this includes the chalice for wine and the paten for bread during communion.
The term extends to any ritually significant container in religious practice—Jewish kiddush cups, Buddhist offering bowls, Hindu puja vessels.
The priest carefully cleaned the sacred vessels after mass.
