A burse is a folded envelope type of thing (square) that is made from stiffened fabric and covered with the same fabric that the priest's chasable is made out of in which the corporal is stored. The burse, in the old Mass, was on the top of the stack formed by the chalice, paten, pall, veil, and burse.
