ALTAR WARE
( number of products: 14 )Altar ware consists of sacred vessels and liturgical items essential for the celebration of Holy Mass and sacraments. The items represent theological truths and Christ’s sacrifice (chalice). They create a sacred space for worship, and facilitate the proper conduct of the Eucharist, Baptism, and funerals.
Chalices, Patens and Ciborium: Altar Ware
The altar chalice stands at the centre of the Eucharistic celebration. It holds the wine that becomes Christ's Blood during consecration. Its non-porous bowl is made from precious metals and plated in gold for reverent containment of its sacred contents. The vessel represents Christ's ultimate sacrifice when His redemptive blood is made present to the faithful.
Accompanying the chalice is an altar paten. It is a shallow plate made from the same metal as the chalice. It holds the bread that will become Christ's Body, a spiritual nourishment for the faithful. We offer simple gold-plated patens and more decorative, engraved patens.
Altar ware includes a ciborium, a covered vessel used to store and distribute consecrated hosts. It resembles a chalice but features a protective lid that safeguards the consecrated hosts.
Engraved Altar Ware
We offer engraving services for parishes seeking unique pieces. We personalise chalices, patens, or ciboria with dates or inscriptions. This customisation transforms liturgical items into meaningful treasures. We recommend ordering engraved altar ware early to make sure your delivery arrives on time.
