Specialty Definition: CIBORIUM

Domain Definition
Antiquities Ciborium (kibôrion). Properly the shell of the Egyptian bean-plant (colocasia), the bean itself being called kuamos. These shells, and indeed the leaves, too, were made into drinking-cups, and were, no doubt, of the same shape as the original shell--broad at the top and becoming narrow towards the bottom. They were smooth and large (Homer Od. ii. 7Homer Od., 22), and often were wrought in a costly manner (Athen. xi. 477 e). No certain specimen of one can be given. In ecclesiastical Latin, ciborium means the vessel used to hold the Host, or consecrated wafer, during mass. (references)
Wikipedic A Ciborium is a container, used in Roman Catholic, Anglican, and related Churches' rituals to store Holy Communion. Its shape resembles that of a chalice but is more round than conical, and comes with a cover ornamented by a cross or other sacred designs. (references)
