Descripción
Receptacle, typically of gold, silver, or another precious material, intended for the preservation of relics, which are the physical remains of a holy person or an object of particular veneration. Reliquary monstrances are distinguished by having an opening or transparent covering, sometimes a horizontal cylinder of glass, crystal, etc. through which the venerated object may be seen. For receptacles specifically for the display of the sacred Host, use "monstrances."
