Portable Communions Sets

One essential tool that a priest or any clergyman from any denomination needs when assigned in a remote area are portable communion sets.

There are plenty of places where these portable sets will come in handy.

Uses of Portable Communion Sets

For instance, you have the hospital or nursing home, even in the battlefield. This makes it convenient for people to join a communion even if they are unable to properly go to a place of worship.

There are four main elements that make up communion sets. There is the cruet, paten, chalice, and pyx. There are small as well as large communion sets that you can use.

To make it easy to carry around, it has a carrying case accompanying it. Most pieces are simple in design while other have an ornate design.

Each piece also has a specific function during the service. The cruet is a small container or bottle that is used to hold the wine during the service. The Paten is a small disk or plate that is used to hold the communion bread during the service.

Then you have the pyx, this is a small, often round, container that holds the host inside. Finally, you have the chalice. This is also known as the communion cup, where the wine is poured onto and drank from.

All of these things make up the portable communion set.
