The Aër is the largest and outermost of the veils covering the Chalice and Diskos in the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Byzantine Rite Eastern Catholic Churches. It is rectangular in shape and corresponds to the veil used to cover the chalice and paten in the Latin Rite, but is slightly larger. It is often made of the same material and color as the vestments of the officiating priest, and often has a fringe going all the way around its edge. Tassels may also be sewn at each of the corners.

  • The Aër is the largest and outermost of the veils covering the Chalice and Diskos in the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Byzantine Rite Eastern Catholic Churches. It is rectangular in shape and corresponds to the veil used to cover the chalice and paten in the Latin Rite, but is slightly larger. It is often made of the same material and color as the vestments of the officiating priest, and often has a fringe going all the way around its edge. Tassels may also be sewn at each of the corners. It takes its name either from the lightness of the material of which it is made, or from the fact that during the Nicene Creed in the Divine Liturgy, the priest holds it high in the air and waves it slowly over the Chalice. Its original use was to cover the Chalice and prevent anything from falling into it before the consecration. It symbolizes the swaddling clothes with which Christ was wrapped at his Nativity, and also the grave clothes in which he was wrapped at his burial (both themes are found in the text of the Liturgy of Preparation). The Aër is first mentioned by name in an explanation of the Divine Liturgy by a writer of the sixth century, and is also alluded to as "the so-called Aër" in the Acts of the Council of Constantinople.
  • Файл:Oleg Blazhko's gold embroidery. jpg Покровцы и митра (Олег Блажко, Киев, 1997 г. ) Покровцы́, покрова́ — матерчатые платы, которыми покрываются дискос и потир во время литургии. Покрывание происходит последовательно сначала малыми покровцами, каждый сосуд в отдельности, а затем оба вместе покрываются общим большим покровом. Меньшие по размеру покровы называются покровца́ми, больший — возду́хом. Происхождение покровов древнее. Ранее всего вошли в употребление малые покровцы, которые исполняли практическую задачу — предохранение Святых Даров в сосудах от мух, пыли, чего особенно много в жарких странах Ближнего Востока. Большой покров был введён в церковное употребление позднее, в V веке, уже преимущественно из символических соображений.
