Episcospeak of the Week: Aumbry (AHM-bri) A recess or cupboard traditionally on the east wall of the sanctuary near the altar that is used to store the reserved sacrament and sometimes the chrism, according to the practice of the parish. In some parishes a sanctuary lamp hangs over the aumbry to indicate when it contains the received sacrament. At St. Thomas, the aumbry is on the south wall of the sanctuary.
