This tabernacle house is a box in which the Eucharist (consecrated communion hosts) is stored. In addition to being the place where the Eucharist is placed, this tabernacle is adorned with intricate and beautiful carvings. The entire tabernacle is presented in the form of an Orthodox church, with the front door being the entrance to the Eucharist and a communion cup, and the other three sides depicting Jesus praying on the Mount of Olives, Jesus on trial, and Jesus ascending to heaven in relief form.
