This is a larger pyx and will carry from 8 to 12 hosts depending on the size of the hosts. The pyx would be a good size to use when making hospital visits as it allows you to carry a good supply of hosts without taking them in a large container. This is a gold-plated pyx with a white plastic insert for holding the hosts and has an enameled green cover with the image of a gold Celtic cross. If you have parishioners who make visits to parish shut-ins, this is an inexpensive pyx and provides an efficient and secure way to allow them to take Communion to those they are visiting. This pyx is also available in a smaller size under item number 59504. Pyx is exclusive to our catalog group. Special buy.
