# Tabernacle ## Catechism of the Catholic Church The receptacle in the church in which the consecrated Eucharist is reserved for Communion for the sick and dying. Reservation of the Eucharist in the tabernacle lends itself to private devotional visits and [[adoration]] of our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament by the faithful ([[2.1.2.1.p3a#^ccc-1183|1183]], [[2.2.1.3.p41#^ccc-1379|1379]]).
