The small, lined basket with a handle is used to collect tithes. The trikirion, or three-handed wooden candleholders, inside the larger basket are used as part of a ceremony to bless water on the Feast of Theophany (Epiphany).
The vestments hanging here are used by the priests of the Holy Ghost Ukrainian Catholic parish. The embroidered vestments are originally from Ukraine. The red vestment is used during solemn occasions such as funerals and Great Lent.
