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 in which the consecrated host is placed 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, the form of a turret or pointed temple (almost always made of silver) bristling with pinnacles and supported by an artistic base was adopted, with a lunula or silver or gold virile in the middle to visibly place the host. In the Renaissance, they were also built in the form of a temple but in the Roman style, and from the late 16th century, those that are most commonly used today began to appear in the form of a radiant sun, which in the 18th century featured circles of cherubic heads surrounding the central virile.
