has gloss | eng: In medieval times, an aumbry was a cabinet in the wall of a Christian church or in the sacristy which was used to store chalices and other vessels and which was used also for the reserved sacrament, the consecrated elements from the communion service. This was an uncommon usage in pre-Reformation churches (though it was known in Scotland, Sweden, Germany and Italy). More usually the sacrament was reserved in a pyx usually hanging in front of and above the altar or later in a "sacrament house". |
