A credence table is a small table located in the sanctuary of a Christian church, used primarily during the celebration of the Eucharist. It contains various sacred items such as the chalice, paten, and other utensils necessary for the Mass. The credence table serves as a place of preparation, where the vessels are kept until the Offertory, marking the moment when the elements are brought to the altar for the consecration. The term "credence" comes from the Latin word "credere," meaning "to believe," reflecting its significance in liturgical practices.
