A Catholic monstrance is a vessel, typically in the form of a sunburst or a circle from which the Eucharist may be shown to the people. The word "monstrance" comes from the Latin word "monstrare", meaning "to show." The Blessed Sacrament is normally kept within a monstrance when it is exposed for adoration by a priest during processions or devotional ceremonies during Mass or outside of the church.
