What is a custodial virile?

The virile is one of the parts that are part of most monstrances and some monstrances . The virile is usually a semicircular shaped piece that serves as a fixing element for the Blessed Sacrament.

The virile is located in the lower part of the compartment intended to store the Sacred Form when it is exposed to the faithful in liturgical celebrations or in processions, such as during the celebration of Corpus Christi.

It is a piece of great importance since it prevents the Blessed Sacrament from moving or moving during the exhibition. It is especially relevant when the custody goes out in procession.

The complete glass structure that is part of the monstrance is also often called virile. This meaning of virile includes the metal part that serves as a support for the Blessed Sacrament and the glass box in which the Consecrated Form is kept.
