Sacred vessel

"Vasa Sacra (Latin for "sacred vessels"; singular: vasum sacrum) is a term from the field of silversmithing. It includes the equipment used during Christian liturgy. Vasa sacra are mainly made of noble metals or other noble materials such as ivory. Sacral equipment is used especially in the administration of the sacraments in the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Old Catholic, Protestant and Eastern Orthodox churches." - (en.wikipedia.org 29.10.2021)
