MOTHER of the HOLY EUCHARIST MonstranceMONSTRANCEThe monstrance is three feet high, individually created of layered wood with hand carved and carefully painted features. Mary's hands gently encompass the luna where Jesus is the focus of adoration. A small light shines through the luna illuminating the Blessed Sacrement. The 24 carat gold plated luna, piercing Mary's heart, is easily removed for placement of the Host. Gerry and Joe Simboli have created 250 monstrances that are in churches and monasteries throughout the world. Pope Benedict and John Paul II were both given a monstrance, prompting John Paul's secretary to say the gift was most appropriate and imparted the Pope's Apostolic Blessing.
