What is Communion? 

The act of participating in the celebration of the Eucharist. The Eucharist, also called Holy Communion, Sacrament of the Table, the Blessed Sacrament, or The Lord's Supper and other names, is a Christian sacrament or ordinance, generally considered to be a commemoration of the Last Supper, the final meal that Jesus Christ shared with his disciples before his arrest and eventual crucifixion. The consecration of bread and a cup within the rite recalls the moment at the Last Supper when Jesus gave his disciples bread, saying, "This is my body", and wine, saying, "This is my blood".  The term Communion is derived from Latin communio (sharing in common). The corresponding term in Greek is κοινωνία, which is often translated as "fellowship". In Christianity, the basic meaning of the term communion is an especially close relationship of Christians, as individuals or as a Church, with God and with other Christians. This basic meaning of the word, found in many passages of the New Testament as well as in secular Greek, predates its other, more specific, Christian uses.

A Portable communion set is a vital piece of kit that is widely used by the clergy and in many denominations. There are many circumstances that it could be used, for example in a hospital, a care home or even on the battlefield. Holy Communion is therefore available to those that cannot attend the place of worship.

Communion sets have traditionally been quite expensive as they are not mass produced and are normally made of silver or silver plate. A typical communion set will comprise of a chalice, paten, cruet, and pyx. Larger sets will contain more than 1 cruet and perhaps a spoon, cross and candlesticks. All these pieces are contained in a carry case. Some sets can be very ornate and secondhand silver sets are very much in demand.
