What do you keep the Eucharist in?
in the tabernacle behind the altar.
When Holy Communion is reserved in the Tabernacle it is called?
Roman Catholic AnswerWhen the Most Holy Eucharist is reserved in the Tabernacle, it is still called the Most Holy Eucharist, sometimes I have heard it refered to as the "reserved Species", a word that was used by the Council of Trent to refer to the appearance of bread and wine after consecration, i.e. the accidents.
Is a monstrance the same thing as a tabernacle?
No, they are not the same things though they both may hold the Eucharist. The Catholic church keeps the consecrated host, called the Eucharist, in a tabernacle in the church. The tabernacle is usually behind the altar, but visible. It has a door that is always locked. Beside this tabernacle is a lighted candle that burns as long as the Eucharist is in the tabernacle. At the next mass, the Host, will be taken out of the tabernacle to be distributed to the faithful at communion. The monstrance is usually an elaborate, ornate vessel that displays one consecrated host. This display is usually visible for Eucharistic adoration or similar prayer service. After the prayer service, the Host would be put back in the tabernacle.
Why is tabernacle shaped like a tent?
becasue its the house of the Eucharist.
How do you know the consecrated bread is in the tabernacle?
It simply the bread that is sacred and it represents the body of Christ.
What is the name of the place the host is kept in church?
The place where the host is kept in church is called the Tabernacle. It is a locked box or cabinet where consecrated hosts (the Eucharist) are stored for adoration, communion, and to be taken to the sick.
What is the container that holds the Eucharist?
The container that actually holds the eucharist is called a ciborium, it resembles the chalice except it has a lid usually topped with a cross, dove, or image of christ. The eucharist is distributed from the ciborium. The container in which the ciborium is reserved is called a tabernacle. The glass disc that contains a large host for adoration is called a Luna, and is kept in a round container called a capsula, the Luna is placed in a monstrance during benediction of the blessed sacrament. Both the capsula and the ciborium are covered with a veil within the tabernacle.
Where does the left over Eucharist go and what is it used for?
I think it is usually put into the Tabernacle and used for people in nursing homes and that sort of thing.
What do you call the red light near the tabernacle?
The red light near the tabernacle is typically called the sanctuary lamp or the eternal flame. It symbolizes the presence of the Blessed Sacrament reserved in the tabernacle and serves as a sign of Christ's presence in the Eucharist.
Why do they transfer the eucharist on Holy Thursday?
The transfer of the eucharist is done on Hold Thursday to a tabernacle in another location to represent ChristÕs time in the tomb after his crucifixion. Transferring the Blessed Sacrament is a way of guarding the consecrated hosts for Good Friday.
What is the name of the vessel stored in the tabernacle that holds the consecrated host?
The Sacrament is kept in a Ciborium. For adoration, the Holy Eucharist is displayed in a monstrance.
What is a Tabernacle kept for?
This depends on which tabernacle you are asking about. The original tabernacle in the Old Testament was a sort of portable temple, where the sacrifices and ceremonies found in the law of Moses could be carried out. In Catholicism and some other Christian denominations, the tabernacle is a small compartment or container that is used to store the elements of the the communion or eucharist ceremony. In Protestant Christianity, some churches use the word 'tabernacle' synonymously with the word 'church' - for example the name of a church or congregation may be called the "Gospel Tabernacle" instead of the "Gospel Church". In Mormonism, a tabernacle was initially a large meetinghouse used for regional (stake) meetings. However, building tabernacles proved to be expensive and the church quickly adopted the current system of having one large regional church (a stake center) instead. Some of these historic tabernacles still exist and are used for large meetings, concerts, and other events. The most famous is the Salt Lake Tabernacle on Temple Square - home of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. This building is still used for concerts and large meetings.
