Sacred Linens of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass


Corporal
A square piece of white cloth spread over the altar cloth. The chalice, paten and ciboria are placed on it during the Liturgy of the Eucharist.





Pall
This is a stiff, square white cloth cover that is placed over the chalice to protect its contents.





Purificator
A small rectangular white cloth used to clean the chalice and paten after Communion. It is different in appearance from the corporal, because it is not square.




Finger Towel
