What is a Catholic pyx? Pyx definition
Pyx is a word that originates from the Latin term pyxis (small box).
The meaning of pyx is a small cup or box in which the Holy Sacrament is kept or carried to the sick.
In this meaning, we can extract the distinctive characteristics of the host boxes or pyxes.
The pyxes are small boxes or containers whose main functionality is to serve as a deposit for the Holy Eucharist, especially in the liturgy.
The main function of these pieces of religious metalwork is to contain the Holy Hosts when they are not used during the Eucharist and their transport, especially in communion to the sick.
