There is one large wafer that the rector breaks in half during the prayers leading up to communion. The smaller ones are for the congregation (the people who go to the church). The wafers (or bread) remind Christians of Jesus' body, which suffered and died on the cross.

The chalice, or cup, is used to drink the wine. Everyone drinks from the one cup, to show that the church is 'one body', meaning all part of the same group. The wine is red, and reminds Christians of Jesus' blood when he died on the cross.

There is a silver dish, called a paten, on which the wafers are placed to give to people. In the glass jugs are the wine and water. No wine may be left over at the end of communion, and so the chalice is rinsed in water, and drunk by the rector.
