The St. Remy Monstrance

The term monstrance is derived from the Latin word monstare, which means "to show". A monstrance is typically a free-standing display that is meant to draw attention to a host or significant relic pertaining to a saint or other religious figure. Often used as a reliquary, the monstrance is typically placed in a public space as a pious display for church goers. The beautiful St. Remy Monstrance by Artistic Silver is available from Matthew F.
