THE SACRED VESSELS

 The Church of the New Testament, as Christ’s Bride, offers several special vessels to be used in God’s House, being aware they are God’s own. They are consecrated by prayers, the word of God and by crossing them by the anointment of Chrism. When consecrated, they are only to be used for God’s service.

1. THE CHALICE

 The Communion Cup, into which wine mixed with water is poured, is consecrated into the Blood of the Lord through the Liturgy of the Eucharist. The Lord Himself used the chalice (Mt. 26:26, 27) and the Apostles imitated Him. St. Paul the Apostle calls it “the Cup of Blessing” and “the Cup of the Lord”. (1Cor. 10:16,21). Tertullian refers to it as having the shape of a lamb engraved on the outside, to remind us of the Lamb of God who purchased His Church and adorned her entirely with His Holy Blood.

2. THE PATEN

 A small round tray, without a stand and having no engraving. It is usually made of silver or gold. Some people believe that the Lord did not use a paten, but rather consecrated the bread upon His hand. However, as the Liturgy takes time, the church prefers to use the paten in order that the bread is not held for too long a time in the celebrant’s hand. This paten has a symbolic meaning, as it represents the Lord’s manger and tomb.

3. THE DOME (STAR) 3. THE DOME (STAR)

 Consists of two silver arched bands, held by a screw, crossed over each other into the shape of a cross, usually surmounted by a small cross. It is said that St. John Chrysostom had introduced this article, which is placed upon the paten to keep the holy bread in a prescribed order, and to support the coverings. It represents the shape of the tomb and also reminds us of the star that appeared to the Wisemen.

4. THE SPOON

 In it, the Blood of Christ is administered to the communicants. It is said that in early centuries the celebrant used to put the Body in the hands of the communicants or in the mouths, and the Blood was drunk directly from the Chalice. Only in the sixth century was the Spoon (Mysteer) used.

5.THE ARK

 In the middle of the Altar, there is a wooden box, called in Coptic ‘pitotc’ which means ‘a seat’ or ‘a throne’, and is used as a Chalice- Stand. Usually it is cubicle in shape, about thirty centimeters high and twenty-five centimeters wide, the top is closed with high flaps. The beautiful carving is inlaid with ebony and ivory and is decorated with four small icons.

6.THE BOOK OF GOSPEL

 A copy of the New Testament covered with silver or gold and decorated by icons, has in the middle of one side, the icon of the Resurrection or Crucifixion and the other side, there is the icon of the Patron Saint or St. Mary and the Child Jesus. Sometimes on the corners, there are the four Evangelists with their symbols.

7.THE CENSER

 Censing is a symbol of the Presence of God among his people, when we smell it we deeply say, “While the King was on His couch my hand gave forth its fragrance” (Cant. 1:12).  It symbolizes praying (Exod. 30:1 - 8) as a sacrifice of love. According to the Coptic rite, liturgies of Eucharist, Baptism, Healing, Marriage, Funerals are correlated with this sacrifice of love. In the fourth century, St.Chrysostom in his homily on St. Palagia of Antioch, alludes to the use of incense in the Funeral procession, and the act of the “Martyrdom of St. Peter of Alexandria” (311 AD) mentions the same.

8.THE BOX OF INCENSE

9.THE ALTAR BOARD

 On the surface of the Coptic Altar, an oblong rectangular slot is engraved to a depth of about 2.5 cm, in which a consecrated Altar-Board is loosely embedded. The Board is generally made of wood, or rarely of marble, upon which the following are painted:  1. A Cross or a number of crosses.  2. The first and last Greek alphabetical “a w”.  3. Occasionally, a few selected Psalms such as: –“His foundation is in the holy mountains…

 It is highly likely that Altar Boards date back to the times of persecution, to facilitate celebrating the Liturgy of Eucharist wherever they were possible. On the other hand, others believe that it came in replacement of Portable Altars.

10.THE CRUETS

 Cruets (Bottles) are two vessels used in holding the wine and water for the Eucharist. They are mentioned in the inventory of gifts made by Constantine to the Churches of Rome.
