What is the container for the Host called?

The container that is used to carry the host to the sick or shut-ins is called a pyx.Roman Catholic AnswerThat depends on which "container" you are talking about. The pyx is used for a few Hosts to be brought to the sick, a luna holds a single large Host to be put in a monstrance or ostensorium for adoration and/or benediction; a tabernacle is used to respose a number of Hosts between Masses for Communion for the Sick, or Communion outside of Mass, etc. A ciborium holds a number of Hosts to be distributed for Holy Communion, a paten is a saucerlike dish, usually of gold, to hold a Host during Mass. Those are the usual containers that would normally be used for a Host.


What is carried by the priest after Holy Communion on Holy Thursday?

Roman Catholic AnswerThe Most Blessed Sacrament: after the Mass on Holy Thursday, which does not end with a blessing (as it is the start of the Triduum liturgy which continues on Good Friday), the priest gathers up all the consecrated Hosts, and instead of putting them in the Tabernacle carries them to the Altar of Repose. While carrying them, he covers them with a Humeral Veil. From the Altar of Repose they will retrieve Hosts to give Holy Communion on Good Friday, and to the sick and dying. For more on the altar of repose you may read responses from a professor of liturgy at a Pontifical University at the link below:


Why is Good Friday mass at 3?

Catholic AnswerThere is no Mass on Good Friday, this is the one day of the year where Mass is never celebrated in the Catholic Church. There is a service at 3 pm because this is the time of day that Our Blessed Lord died, it used to be called the Mass of the Presanctified as the Hosts for Holy Communion were consecrated on Holy Thursday. The Good Friday Liturgy includes the reading of the Passion, the Veneration of the Cross, and Holy Communion, but no Mass.

Is there a priest at a Holy Communion service?

Roman Catholic AnswerThe only times that a Catholic Church would have a Communion service would be if a priest were not available. In my diocese the rules are that a parish may have a Communion service on one Sunday out of the year if it is impossible to get a priest. The Vatican forbids Communion services during the week, and on a regular basis. There had to have been a priest there before the Communion service to consecrate the Sacred Hosts.


What do you call a container of Holy Communion that usually Catholic priest paraded?

Roman Catholic AnswerThat is kind of difficult to answer without more information. If he is just carrying a single large Host in a Luna, then it would called a Monstrance. If he is carrying a gold looking chalice or tub like affair with a lot of Hosts in it, then it is a Ciborium. If it is a small pocket watch looking affair with only a few Hosts for Communion for the sick, then it is a Pyx.
