It held the Corporal, a square cloth placed in the center of the altar, on which the sacramental bread and wine were placed. Theoretically only the bread and wine on the corporal were consecrated as sacred species, at least in the old Roman Church. They watered so much down it probably does not exist there any more. At any rate, when not in use it was contained in the burse. The corporal was washed in a sink called the sacrarium, which emptied directly into the ground not a sewage outlet, so the sacred species, bread crumbs,i.e., would return to the ground whence grew the wheat. ----please, draw me a sheep---- Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: bursiform LukeJavan8 #208120 11/26/2012 10:24 PM Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 3,290 R'lyeh zmjezhd Carpal Tunnel zmjezhd Carpal Tunnel Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 3,290 R'lyeh English purse < Late Latin bursa 'purse, pouch' < Greek bursa 'ox hide; skin'. Bursar and burse both come from the Latin term. I'm pretty sure the rules about the burse and the corporal are still pretty much as they used to be. Ceci n'est pas un seing.
