The Poor Vicar’s host box
by Fr. Daniel Sparks ~ June 24, 2008. Filed under: Faith & Church.The next item included in the Poor Vicar’s Sacristy in a Box is a host box.
I purchased this item (which is actually a sugar bowl with lid) at the local Wal-Mart for $2.73. It is a plain bowl made of clear glass and includes a matching top. While the poor vicar might appreciate a brass, gold-plated, sterling silver, or gold host box, this one will fit his budget and reverently perform the job. However plain the box may be, it will not detract from the beauty of Anglican worship as it sits on the credence.
Based on my testing, the box will hold approximately 100 wafers. This should suffice for the poor vicar’s mission congregation.
Poor Vicar’s Sacristy in a Box cost to date: $7.61
