Gold-Plated Ciborium with IHS Engraving, 2.25 in (5.4 cm)

A gold-plated metal ciborium is a small, practical liturgical vessel for storing and carrying Communion hosts. Its compact dimensions make it well suited to a priest's ministry outside the church, especially when visiting the sick and distributing Holy Communion beyond a permanent liturgical space.

Ciborium finish, IHS engraving and dimensions

The lid bears the engraved inscription IHS, a Christological symbol of the Most Holy Name of Jesus. The delicate engraving emphasizes the vessel's sacred character, while the gold-plated finish gives it an elegant and dignified appearance.

Its metal construction provides durability and ease of use, while the closable design helps keep the Communion hosts safely stored during transport. The small size allows it to fit easily in a liturgical burse, liturgical case, or sick-call set.
