Monstrances, Obviously

@monstrancesobvi

Monstrances- stemming from the Latin word mostrare- "to show" do just that. They are a category of beautiful liturgical objects known as reliquaries, which house precious holy objects like the bones of saints, martyrs, the Virgin Mary or even the eucharistic host. Combining incredible medieval metalwork with carved rock crystal, monstrances (and their more specifically Eucharist-bound cousins Ostensorium) magnify and beatify the holy objects they contain.

Pyx

Date: circa 1300

Location Created: Austria, Probably Salzburg

Materials: silver and gilt silver

Dimensions: Diameter: 4.80 x 7.80 cm (1 7/8 x 3 1/16 inches)

Current Location: The Cleveland Museum of Art

Original Link

The Pyx was originally used to carry the Eucharist for safety and for transport. The consecrated host gained importance in the Catholic liturgy and faith after the Lateran council of 1215 decreed the edict of transubstantiation, or the actuality of the Eucharist as the actual flesh of Christ.

As perceived power of the Eucharist grew, more and more of the faithful laity desired to see the consecrated host, especially as the amount of Latin-speaking laity decreased, perhaps increasing feelings of isolation and removal from direct salvation.

These reasons, along with advancements in material techniques led to the increase in see-through, or visible capsae (or capsules) known as monstrances, or ostensorium for the Eucharist and other relics.

Pyx with the Martyrdom of Saint Barbara

Date: ca. 1480

Location: Germany

Medium: gilded silver, mother-of-pearl

Measurements: 7 7/16 x 3 3/4 in. (18.9 x 9.5 cm)

Current Location: The Walters Art Gallery

Original Link

The pyx, a liturgical object used to carry the Host (or Eucharistic wafer) was the precedent to the monstrance and more specifically Ostensorium reliquaries. Because this work contains no rock crystal, or any clear elements it does not qualify as a monstrance. However, comparing this object to other Ostensorium, one can see the similarities in shape and theme (particularly that of the resurrection).
