The paten: a precious circular dish made from solid metal that is used to contain the host both before and after the consecration. It is slightly concave or has, in its center, a slight depression so as to contain the host more securely. The cruets: these are glass containers or small jugs made from another material that are used to hold the water and wine. The water: a few drops of water are added to the chalice during the offertory. Some of the water is also used to wash the priest’s hands as well as to purify the chalice at the end of the Holy Mass. 214
