- baptême - “baptism”
- câlice (calice) - “chalice”
- calvaire - “Calvary”
- ciarge (cierge) - “votive or Paschal candle”
- ciboire - “ciborium” or “pyx”, the receptacle in which the host is stored
- crisse (Christ) - “Christ”
- maudit - “damn”
- mozusse (Moïse)- “Moses”
- ostie (hostie) - “host”
- sacrament (sacrement) - “Sacrament”
- tabarnak (tabernacle) - “tabernacle”
