Catholic pyx is a kind of liturgical vessel for storing the Holy Sacrament, i.e. the Body of Christ. It is a kind of container for the Eucharist that is used to carry holy communion out of the tabernacle. Pyx is made of precious materials. On the upper part of the pyx, religious scenes such as the last supper or holy figures such as Christ, Mother of God and the Holy Trinity are most often presented.
