Summary/Abstract: Paper deals with gap between prevailing prosaism in design of the contemporary liturgical vessels and their important role in the Christian place of worship. In general, liturgical vessels are important component of ritual. They begin to live only in 'resonance' with place of worship. As the substantial carrier of the transcendental quality liturgical vessels become the architectural core of the sacral complex. Importance of their architectural nature becomes even more obvious through archetypal analysis of the Christian sacral complex.
