Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between a host box and a pyx?
A: A pyx is typically a smaller, pocket-sized vessel with a hinged or snap-close lid, designed for carrying a small number of hosts to individual recipients. A host box is generally larger with a slip-on cover, better suited for sacristy storage or carrying hosts for distribution to larger groups.

Q: How many hosts does the K-87 hold?
A: This host box holds up to 40 hosts, making it well suited for sacristy use and active ministry serving larger groups.

Q: What does the IHS engraving on the cover represent?
A: IHS is a Christogram -- an ancient monogram of the Holy Name of Jesus derived from the first three letters of the Greek spelling of Jesus (IHSOUS). The cross above the H and the three nails below are traditional additions referencing the Passion of Christ.
