custody information

The word custody comes etymologically from the Latin word "custodia". Some of the consulted sources identify the monstrance with the monstrance or ostensorium (from the Latin ostentare, "to show"). Other sources differentiate the two terms based on the complexity and size of the piece. Both the Custody and the Monstrance have the function of being a sacred container where the Bread is deposited, after being consecrated, so that it can be seen by the faithful in moments of adoration (Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament) and during Eucharistic processions.
There are a wide variety of sizes and styles. Generally around the Eucharist rays are represented that symbolize the graces conferred on those who adore.
It is a throne of glory for Our Lord, so it is tried to be worthy and beautiful.
