Gold-Plated Ciborium with Engraved IHS, 3.5 in (9 cm)

The ciborium bears a delicate engraved IHS inscription, a sign of its Eucharistic purpose. This elegant, practical liturgical vessel stores and carries hosts.

Ciborium for storing and carrying hosts

This liturgical vessel is intended for storing and carrying hosts, particularly during a priest's ministry beyond the church. Its compact form makes it suitable both for sets used in ministry to the sick and for liturgical cases and burses used outside the church. It is used for visits to the sick, administering Holy Communion away from the church, and as part of a burse or liturgical case.

IHS symbolism and gold-plated finish

The IHS engraving on the lid represents the Most Holy Name of Jesus. The metal is covered with gold plating, giving the vessel a refined sheen and a dignified, sacred character.

Metal, hinge, and dimensions

The practical hinged construction makes the ciborium easy to open and close while helping protect its contents during transport. Its small dimensions make the vessel convenient to transport, handy to carry, and easy to store.
