Definition
The monstrance, a sacred object used in Catholic worship, is typically made of gold or silver, featuring a central receptacle for the consecrated host. Its elaborate design, often including rays emanating outward, reflects its symbolic meaning. Used in liturgy, specifically during Eucharistic adoration, the monstrance displays the host for veneration. The exposed host, through the monstrance, becomes the focus of prayer and contemplation, representing the real presence of Christ. Its presence enhances the experience of Catholic worship.
