Communion vessels are special containers used in Christian religious ceremonies, particularly during the sacrament of the Eucharist. These vessels hold the bread and wine, which represent the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Common types of communion vessels include chalices for wine and patens for bread. Typically made from materials like metal, glass, or ceramic, communion vessels are often beautifully designed and may be adorned with religious symbols. They are used in various Christian denominations, including Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and some branches of Protestantism, each with its own traditions regarding their use and significance.
