This book delves into the history of a significant yet often overlooked element of Catholic ecclesiastical architectureâ"the credence or side-table used in the preparation of sacramental elements for the sacrament of Holy Communion or Eucharist. Beginning with early instances of the use of 'ministerium' or side table in the 6th century, continuing with the first recorded use of the term 'credence' in the time of Pope Leo X, and concluding with an analysis of the credence's prescribed use in the latest revisions of the Roman Missal and Ceremoniale Episcoporum, this carefully researched study examines the development of the credence's purpose, appearance, and changing place within the context of Catholic ritual and liturgy. The author argues that while the credence has served different purposes and held a variety of objects throughout its long history, one thing has remained constant: its role as a sacred furnishing which reflects the dignity and importance of the celebration of the sacrament of Holy Communion, and the reverence owed to the Eucharistic elements.
