Anotations

Scope note:

Square textile coverings used to cover both chalice and paten before and after communion. A chalice veil is placed over the chalice, paten, and purificator when the vessels are prepared for the Eucharist and placed on the altar; it is removed before the Consecration. It may be embellished and of the same color as the liturgical vestments. For stiff squares covering just the top of the chalice, use "palls (chalice covers)."
