(Or Credence-Table).

A small table of wood, marble, or other suitable material placed within the
sanctuary of a church and near the wall at the Epistle side, for the purpose of
holding the cruets, acolytes' candles, and other utensils required for the
celebration of the Holy Sacrifice. The credence, properly so called, is
contemplated only in connexion with solemn Masses; on it the chalice, paten,
corporal, and veil are placed from the beginning of the Mass until the
Offertory. When a bishop celebrates, it should be of larger dimensions than
usual, the ordinary size being about forty inches long, twenty broad, and
thirty-six high. On very solemn festivals it should be covered with a linen
cloth extending to the ground on all sides, on less solemn occasions the cloth
should not extend so far, while on days of simple rite it should merely cover
the superficies. For low Masses the rubrics contemplate a niche or bracket in
the wall, or some small arrangement for holding the cruets, finger-bowl, and
towel, but custom now favours the use of a credence-table.
