Veil
Votive Candle


Veil: From Latin vela ("sail, curtain"). In the Church, the veil refers to the solid cloth, in seasonal color, that covers the chalice and paten at the Holy Eucharist (also known as the Chalice Veil). The burse (with the corporal inside) rests on top of the veiled chalice.

Votive Candle: A devotional candle placed in a church or chapel in some "higher" Episcopal Churches. Votive candles are usually small, short candles in a special glass holder.
