Muse with a Silver-Plated Metal Handle

Description The Muse is a natural, marine sponge of exceptional quality, used in the Orthodox Christian tradition for the cleansing of the Diskos and the Antimension during the Divine Liturgy. It originates mainly from the Aegean Sea and is used for the gathering of the “pearls” (small portions of the Body of Christ). It is also placed in the Holy Chalice, serving by custom for its care and maintenance, as well as during the consecration of Holy Churches. Dimensions: 8×8 cm
