A 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 ostensoriums originated with the institution of the feast called Corpus Christi in the mid-13th century. From the mid-15th century, the form of a turret or ogival tabernacle (almost always silver) bristling with pinnacles and supported by an artistic base was adopted, with a lunette or virile of silver or gold in the middle to visibly place the host. During the Renaissance, they were also built in the form of a tabernacle but in the Roman style, and from the late 16th century onwards, the radiant sun-shaped ones that are more commonly used today began to appear, which in the 18th century featured circles of angelic heads surrounding the central lunette. Expositor of the Blessed Sacrament.
