A monstrance, or ostensorium is used for display of the Blessed Sacrament, or consecrated host.
The Latin words monstrare and ostendere both mean "to show." Catholic and some other churches use the ostensoria to display the Eucharist to the faithful during Adoration and other services.
The LUNA is the smaller vessel that actually holds the host. The luna is then placed inside the ostensorium. A monstrance and luna are essentially the same thing, a sacred vessel designed for direct contact with and to securely hold, the Blessed Sacrament.
The difference between a monstrance and ostensoria is that the ostensoria does not touch the host, but is used to hold the luna, which contains the host.
