Liturgical use

The pyx is the liturgical object carried by the priest to distribute Communion to the infirm, the elderly and those who cannot come to church. The compact dimensions (diameter 5.4 cm) make it easily pocketable. The Agnus Dei decoration recalls the Eucharistic meaning of the host it contains, making this pyx well suited to use by extraordinary ministers of Communion in parishes.
