The monstrance is also called an ostensorium (from the Latin ostentare, "to show"). In the Catholic religion, it is the piece of gold or other precious metal, where the host is placed, after being consecrated, for the adoration of the faithful (believers).
Monstrances or ostensoria originated with the institution of the feast called Corpus Christi in the mid-13th century. From the mid-15th century, they adopted the form of a small tower or ogival temple (almost always made of silver) bristling with pinnacles and supported by an artistic base, with a silver or gold lunula or virile in the middle to visibly place the host. In the Renaissance era, they were also built in the form of a temple but in Roman style, and from the late 16th century, those that are more commonly used today began to appear in the form of a radiant sun, which in the 18th century featured circles of angelic heads surrounding the central virile.
