Precious Vessels
Vessels made from precious metals were highly revered in the Russian Orthodox church. The word “precious” was closely linked to the concepts of spirituality and piety, recalling God’s command to Moses to “devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass” (Exodus 31:4).
