Tabernacle
The tabernacle is the piece of furniture that houses the ciborium containing the hosts that are consecrated during mass. Made around 1730, this is believed to be the church’s oldest piece of liturgical furniture. The master sculptor of New France, Noël Levasseur, is said to have designed it as a simplified version of the tabernacle at the Hôpital-Général de Québec. Compared to other tabernacles of the period, this item is rather square in shape. It is also remarkable for its simplicity.
