Sacramental Lights
Sanctus Bell
Shell, Baptismal


Sacramental Lights: The candles on the retable that burn on either side of the Cross. Also called Office Candles or Office Lights, as they are the only candles lighted during Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, and other worship offices when there is no Holy Communion.

Sanctus Bell: The actual name for the bell is a "sacring bell," but most refer it as a "sanctus bell" because it is usually rung at the time of the Sanctus, at elevations, and other important times. In medieval times, when the service was said in Latin and the masses spoke English, the bell was rung at these times as a signal that it was time to pay attention.
   In some congregations, the Sanctus Bell is run during the Eucharistic Prayer during the Words of Institution: "Do this in remembrance of me."

Shell, Baptismal: The metal or ceramic cup or dish used to pour water during the administration of Holy Baptism.
