Gold-Plated Paten with Decorative Nodus, 4.75 in (12 cm)

For concelebration and solemn Eucharistic celebrations, this gold-plated paten is used by priests to hold and distribute hosts during Mass.

Paten Use in Concelebration and Solemn Celebrations

During concelebration, particularly when a larger number of priests are participating, the deep bowl provides room for the hosts and makes them easier to distribute during the Eucharist. The vessel is also intended for solemn Eucharistic celebrations.

With its deep bowl, solid brass construction, and gold-plated finish, it forms a practical and dignified part of the furnishings of an altar, church, chapel, or sacristy. Its classic form and decorative nodus complement other liturgical vessels, harmonizing with chalices, ciboria, and the remaining elements of sacred furnishings.

Gold Finish and Decorative Form

As a deep, practical Eucharistic vessel, the paten is made of brass with a gold-plated finish. Its refined sheen, classic form, and carefully finished surface give it an elegant appearance and emphasize the solemn character of the liturgy.

The deep, rounded bowl makes it convenient to place the hosts inside and facilitates their distribution during the Eucharist. Its smooth, glossy surface enhances the vessel's elegant appearance, while the gently shaped edges emphasize its harmonious form.

A distinctive element is the decorative nodus, which forms the ornamental base of the vessel. Its grooved surface creates an attractive contrast with the smooth, gold-plated bowl, adding subtle elegance and a dignified, formal character to the whole. This finish allows the paten to coordinate well with the other liturgical vessels.
