<P> A small receptacle called a pyx is used for taking communion to the sick . While designs may differ, this often consists of a metal case with a chain attached so it can be hung around the neck . Inside the case are several compartments . One compartment contains a small box with a tightly - fitting lid into which some of the reserved Holy Mysteries will be placed . There is also a place for a very small chalice, just enough to hold a small amount of wine and a particle of the reserved Mysteries . There will be a small bottle to hold ordinary wine (not consecrated) which is used to soften the particle before it is consumed, a small pair of tweezers with which the priest removes a particle of the Mysteries from the box to place it in the chalice without touching it, and finally a small communion spoon with which to administer Holy Communion . This sick call kit is normally kept on the Holy Table, or sometimes on the Table of Oblation . </P> <P> Rather than using a kit like the one described above, a priest may use a small chalice with a tight - fitting lid . He pours a little wine into the chalice, places a particle of the reserved Mysteries in the wine, and attaches the lid . He will take the chalice and a communion spoon to administer Holy Communion to the sick . </P> <P> A smaller tabernacle, sometimes referred to as a pyx, is used during Great Lent . This tends to be a rectangular, gold - plated box, often with a cross on top, with a hinged lid . On Sundays during Great Lent, the priest will consecrate extra Lambs (in the same manner as on Holy Thursday), for use during the Presanctified Liturgy . These Lambs will be kept in the pyx on the Holy Table, or sometimes on the Prothesis (Table of Oblation). </P> <P> Many Anglican parishes use tabernacles, either fixed on the altar, placed behind or above it, or off to one side . As in Catholic churches, the presence of the reserved sacrament is indicated by a "presence lamp"--an oil or wax - based flame in a clear glass vessel placed close to the tabernacle . Normally, only ciboria and Blessed Sacrament are placed in the tabernacle, although it is not uncommon for the wine or consecrated oils to be placed there as well . When the tabernacle is vacant, it is common practice to leave it open so that the faithful will not inadvertently perform an act of devotion (such as bowing or genuflecting). Tabernacles are customarily lined with, if not constructed from, cedar wood, whose aromatic qualities discourage insect life . </P>
