What is the name of the small round glass bowl, usually with a cross on it, with a small round brass lid that sits next to the tabernacle? This vessel is always full of holy water.
The priest uses this to purify his hands, or to place the Blessed Sacrament in (to promote dissolution of the Host) if somehow a Sacred Particle ends up on the floor.
I can't find one online if I can't even name it.
My first guess was "sacrarium", but I think that's a special sink where blessed water (from the Lavabo dish, etc.) is dumped, where it goes directly into the ground.

Aspergus me, Domine ...

No, that's what I informally call the "Asperges bucket". We have one of those.
This is made of glass usually, and sits next to the tabernacle at all times.

Matthew, you take a lot of flak for being a pompous, arrogant windbag but this thread proves you know you aren't all that.
Jolly good job and carry on. :cheers:
Indeed a humble rustic who serves God is better than a proud intellectual who neglects his soul to study the course of the stars.
