credence tables
Explanation:
Quote:

"It is, however, as an article of ecclesiastical furniture that the credence table is most familiar. It takes the form of a small table of wood or stone, sometimes fixed and sometimes merely a shelf above or near the piscina. It usually stands on the south or Epistle side of the altar, and on it are placed, in the Roman Catholic Church, the cruets containing the wine and water, the chalice, the candlesticks to be carried by the acolytes, and other objects to be used in the ceremony of the Mass. The use of such a table, to which earlier the name of **paratorium** or oblationarium was given, appears to have come into use when the personal presentation of the oblations at the Mass became obsolete."

I've suggested "tables" because in your text, it's in the plural
