Ostensorio Monstrances
- Large monstrances are impressive liturgical vessels used in the Catholic Church to display the consecrated Eucharist during adoration and processions. Typically made from precious metals like gold or silver, these ornate structures can feature intricate designs, including detailed engravings, gemstones, and rays of light that symbolize divine presence.
- The central part of a monstrance is called the lunette, which holds the host, allowing the congregation to see it. Large monstrances are often used for significant liturgical events and can create a powerful visual impact during worship, enhancing the spiritual atmosphere.
- Many large monstrances are considered works of art, reflecting the craftsmanship and devotion of their creators. They are often housed in cathedrals or used during major feasts and celebrations, serving as a focal point for prayer and adoration.
