Discover our collection of church patens, designed for the distribution of the Holy Eucharist. Our range includes high-quality gold-plated and gilt-finish patens in various sizes, from portable 10cm options for home visits to larger 18cm sanctuary patens. Whether you require a traditional IHS engraved design or a simple polished finish, our communion ware has something for you.
A paten is a small plate, usually made of precious metal, used during the Liturgy of the Eucharist to hold the consecrated bread or host. Its primary purpose is to provide a dignified vessel for the body of Christ and to prevent crumbs from falling to the floor.
At Eden, we offer a range of sizes to suit different liturgical needs:
Our collection focuses on high-quality, durable materials that meet liturgical standards. We stock Gold-Plated patens for a traditional, high-lustre finish and Gilt-Finish patens which offer a beautiful, reverent appearance at a more accessible price point. Many of our designs feature the IHS monogram, a traditional symbol representing the name of Jesus.
The right size usually depends on the diameter of your chalice. Traditionally, a paten should sit comfortably on top of the chalice rim without being so large that it becomes unstable. For standard parish chalices, a 14cm or 16cm paten is typically the best fit.
To preserve the gold plating, patens should be wiped gently after use with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid using abrasive metal polishes or harsh chemicals, as these can wear down the plating over time. If a deeper clean is required, use mild soapy water and dry immediately with a soft towel.
Yes, we highly recommend protecting your liturgical vessels when not in use. We offer blue felt drawstring bags specifically designed to prevent scratches and tarnishing on gold-plated surfaces during storage or transport.
