monstrance

He places it in the monstrance and shows it to the people, who during this ceremony kneel, bow, pray and believe.

The priest, who had descended from the altar, held the little monstrance; the girls' procession was moving before him.

Another vessel was the monstrance, in which the Blessed Sacrament was carried in procession, and exposed on the altar.

This monstrance is covered also with jewels of great value which almost conceal it, the gifts of royal personages.

When the slanting sun fell upon him in front, the monstrance itself looked like another sun.
