Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Thanks for filling in this morning for our ALE RICH YOUTHS at St. Anagram's. You won't need to trade your thinking cap for a miter to do well today.

Answer: Holy Eucharist

Holy Eucharist is one of many names for the sacrament of Communion, also called "the Lord's Supper". The word "Eucharist" is from the Greek and has as its root the word for "gift" (charisma, charismatic), suggesting that the Holy Communion is God's gift to all.

2. You will find a clean ALE CHIC standing next to the sink. Please use that one and not any that you might have brought along today, as only ours are consecrated for use here.

Answer: chalice

The chalice is the cup in which the wine is contained. It comes from the Latin word for "cup". Some priests carry portable communion vessels for personal use. Many churches have multiple sets of vessels for use in varied circumstances. Chalices can be made of gold, silver, stone, glass, wood or crockery.

3. Don't forget that AN PET goes on top of the cup. There is a matching one in the box in the cupboard.

Answer: paten

The paten, is the plate used to hold the bread or wafers (the host). The word paten comes from a Latin word "patina". The paten sits atop the chalice at the outset of the Eucharist.

4. The ladies should have provided you a FAIR CUP TRIO for wiping afterward.

Answer: purificator

This is the white cloth used to dry the celebrant's hands, the chalice, and the paten after the Eucharist - sort of a "holy napkin".

5. You should be able to find a RAP COLOR hanging in the closet for today's mass. Make sure it goes underneath everything.

Answer: corporal

The corporal is a square, white cloth that is placed under the chalice and paten. It is re-folded into ninths after Mass to prevent any pieces of consecrated hosts from falling to the floor.

6. At the appropriate time, someone will process with the ROMAN CENTS.

Answer: monstrance

The monstrance is a clear container, usually with sun rays and a cross on top, used for the convenient public exhibition of the Sacrament. "Monstrance" comes from the Latin word meaning "to show".

7. Check the BRA LACE TEN for consecrated host. You might find a sufficient amount in there.

Answer: tabernacle

The tabernacle is a small cupboard in which previously consecrated elements of the Communion are kept.

8. Be sure you use your own pyx if you take any CATCHERS DOE SNOT out with you afterward.

Answer: consecrated host

The pyx is a small box used to carry consecrated host out of the church for communion with shut-ins.

9. The priest is presented with vessels with WEANED WART IN.

Answer: water and wine

Cruets are small pitchers that hold the water and wine before being blessed. In many churches, the elements are presented by the people at the time of the offertory.

10. Afterwards, please be sure to take off the ACE BLUSH before you leave the sacristy, unless you wore your own.

Answer: chasuble

A chasuble is a garment that covers all the rest, and is reserved for use at the time of the Eucharist. Most churches own their own chasubles in styles and designs matching their other altar cloths.
