Descripción

Specifications Chrismal set with leather case for holy oils * Glass bottle * Nickel-plated brass cover. Measurements: Height 14.5 centimeters Diameter 7.5 centimeters Case Measurements: Height 17 centimeters Width 10 centimeters Length 29 centimeters Chrismals are the vessels in which the holy oils are kept: the oil of catechumens, the oil of the sick, and the Holy Chrism. They can come in two forms: large ones for storing the oil in churches and small ones for administering the sacraments outside of the church. After the Chrism Mass, the parish priest receives the oils and is obliged to carefully store them in a fitting place (Code of Canon Law, c. 847). It is customary to keep them in a noble cabinet or urn placed in the baptistery or sacristy. There, it is appropriate to place them in large and artistic chrismals, to be used in the administration of the sacraments within the church. However, there are also tubular chrismals divided into three sections that are practical for administering sacraments outside of the church.
