History of the Ciborium:

The ciborium is a sacred vessel used in Catholic liturgy to hold consecrated hosts. Its use dates back to the early centuries of Christianity, evolving in design and material over time. Traditionally made from precious metals such as gold and silver, the ciborium symbolizes the purity and sanctity of the Eucharistic sacrament. In Spain, during the 20th century, high-quality artisanal ciboria were produced, many of which do not bear hallmarks but are recognized for their authenticity and value. These objects are appreciated both for their liturgical function and for their historical and artistic value.
