A monstrance is the vessel used in Catholic and Anglican churches to display the consecrated Eucharistic host. Created in the medieval period for the public display of relics, the monstrance today is usually restricted for vessels used for hosts. The word monstrance comes from the Latin word monstrance, meaning "to show". No. The monstrance itself is not biblical, but the doctrine of "Real Presence of Christ" is, c.f. John 6.
