A cullender, or strainer, for the wine and water when poured into the chalice. It dates from the seventh century. Pastophoria, (1. ) That which is borne on a shrine. (2. ) Pas- ton, a small chapel, the sacristy of the Greek Church ; from passo, in the sense of an embroidery, which was wrought upon the curtain which hung before it. It comprehended the diakonikon and skeuophylakion. (3. ) The watchers' chamber. Pastoral Staff. (Baculus pastor alis, cambuca, pedum, crocia, virga, ferula, cambutta ...in Gregory's Sacramentary. ) A sym- bol of episcopal authority, resembling a shepherd's crook, and pointed at the end as an emblem both of encouragement and correction. In the fourth century it resembled a simple cane with a knob, or else a crutch-like staff, like a Tau. The Russian bishops use one with two curved heads. After the twelfth century the staffs increased in height and orna- mentation, but the abbots, especially those of the order of St. Anthony, long retained the Tau- shaped one. The Pope gave up the use of the staff in the middle of the twelfth cen- tury, and cardinal-bishops no longer carry it.
