pyx

There was a canopy over the altar with curtains, and here was hung the pyx or box containing the Host, or consecrated bread.

In the Eastern Cloister you see an ancient door, leading to what is now called the chapel of the Pyx.

The panagia or pyx worn by a bishop, or higher prelate, is often an exquisite piece of jewelry.

The spellings poeple, lenghth, satisficed are standard; pix may be more recognizable as pyx.
