The set includes:
The Communion Cup, the oldest of the liturgical vessels, symbolizes the cup used in the Last Supper when Christ offered wine to his disciples. In this cup, water is mixed with wine. Older cups had the shape of a crater with a low foot or of a cup with or without handles. The post-Byzantine holy cups consist of three to four pieces.
The long spoon accompanies the Communion Cup to offer Holy Communion. Its use became universal from the 10th century, starting from the early Christian years.
The paten or diskos is a vessel where Holy Bread is placed for the Communion offering and its preparation.
The lance, a small knife with a handle ending in a cross, is used for cutting the Holy Bread.
The asterisk is made of two strips of metal laid one on top of the other and joined in the center, forming a cross. Placed on top of the paten, it prevents the cover from touching the Holy Bread.
The designs and the handmade production are in accordance with the Byzantine tradition. Available in gold-plated 24K, silver-plated, pure silver 950, or decorated with enamel. Finally, they have been specially treated so that they do not lose their shine.
