Best Answer

Pyx is a metal box or vessel in which the Blessed Sacrament is kept or carried. The term is more aptly applied to the small round metal case (usually gold-plated) used to carry a few hosts for the sick. A larger container used to store Hosts in the Tabernacle may also be called a pyx, but ciborium is the more common term for that. - extracted from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S. J.
