Church the ciborium was a See also:canopy over the See also:altar (q.v.), supported on columns, and from it hung the receptacle in which was reserved the consecrated See also:wafer of the See also:Eucharist. The use of the word has probably been much influenced by the early false connexion with cibos, See also:food, cf. Agatio, See also:bishop of See also:Pisa (quoted in Du Cange, See also:Gloss. s.v.), " Ciborium vas esse ad ferendos cibos." In the Eastern Church the columns rested on the altar itself, in the Western they reached the ground. The name was early transferred from the canopy to the vessel containing the reserved See also:sacrament, and in the Western Church the canopy was known as a " baldaquin," Ital. baldacchino, from Baldacco, the Itilian name of See also:Bagdad, and hence applied to a See also:rich See also:kind of embroidered See also:tapestry made there and much used for canopies, &c. At the See also:present See also:day it is usual in the See also:Roman Church to use the See also:term " See also:pyx " (ii s, properly a vessel made of See also:boxwood) for the receptacle for the reserved sacrament used in administering the See also:viaticum to the sick or dying.
