A Compact Cross and Harvest Pyx for Personal Communion Ministry
Pyx by Koley's Inc. is the smallest vessel in the K-127 series, crafted for ministers who carry Holy Communion to one or a few recipients at a time. The lid features a raised medallion in an oxidized antique silver finish depicting a cross surrounded by clusters of grapes with vine leaves and full heads of wheat -- timeless Eucharistic symbols rendered with careful detail. The brass body carries a warm gold finish, creating a refined two-tone appearance.
At just 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch deep, this pyx holds up to 8 hosts and slips easily into a pocket or the companion burse K-3102. It is an ideal choice for individual home visits, personal sick calls, and clergy who prefer a compact, lightweight vessel.
