I am at the Met with a priest friend, the great Fr. Pasley.
We have admired the Eucharistic doves.

About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

They are used as a sort of hanging pyx, in place of the more-familiar tabernacle, especially in some Eastern churches, where their origins date to the early centuries of the Church. Were they adopted in the Roman church, they might discourage the practice of mostly relying upon the reserved Sacrament (which has long been officially tolerated, albeit discouraged), rather than that which is consecrated at that particular Mass.
A beautiful day in NYC to be out and about! I have not been there in too, too long! Something to think about. The doves are very beautiful. I love all things medieval. I don’t know why, but when I look at the cathedrals in Europe, I am astounded at what so-called primitive peoples were capable of! And I loved that every other day was a holy day/feast day!
St. Emma’s Benedictine Monastery (www.stemma.org) in Greensburg, PA has such a dove as the tabernacle in their Fatima chapel….much larger, and no legs (that I can recall)
I have seen one church with a silver spherical hanging pyx.
The trouble is, these days they are not very secure, are they?
More and more I think an aumbry is the best way.
Enjoy your well deserved rest Fathers!
How cool. Beautiful painting and craftsmanship.
That is so cool! Was the Blessed Sacrament placed in it? If so, how?
