Chalice and paten

Church Architecture

The chalice is the cup for wine; the paten is the plate for the host. A corporal (linen cloth), purificator (wiping cloth), pall (cover), veil and burse (corporal case) belong to preparation. Vessels are displayed for recognition; Low Mass and Solemn Mass arrange and bring them differently.
