The Ambry is the place where the Holy Oils and the Oil of Chrism are stored. In some Churches the Ambry is used for reservation of the blessed sacrament. An ambry is in essence a smaller typically less ornate version of a tabernacle. Often times the Ambry is set in a wall or into the altar, like some tabernacles are. In many Episcopal and Anglican Churches the Blessed Sacrament is reserved in the Ambry and Holy Oils and Oil of Chrism is reserved in the sacristy cabinets. Many modern Catholic Churches tend to reserve the Eucharist in an ambry rather than a tabernacle.
