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 in which the consecrated host is placed for the adoration of the faithful (believers).
Monstrances or ostensoria originated with the institution of the feast of Corpus Christi in the mid-13th century. From the mid-15th century, the form of a turret or ogival temple (almost always made of silver), bristling with pinnacles and supported by an artistic base, with a lunula or lunette of silver or gold in the middle to visibly place the host, was adopted. During the Renaissance, they were also built in the form of a temple but in the Roman style, and from the late 16th century onwards, those most commonly used today, in the form of a radiant sun, began to appear. In the 18th century, these featured circles of angelic heads surrounding the central lunette.
A monstrance (ostensorium) of about 45 cm, model C2, for the Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in churches and chapels. Handcrafted in Mexico, usually in brass or bronze with gold plating.
