What is displayed during Eucharistic adoration?

• A. Ciborium
• B. Monstrance
• C. Chalice
• D. Paten

Answer: (B)

During Eucharistic adoration, the focus is on the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist and displaying it for believers to honor. This display is placed in a monstrance, a special vessel with a transparent center that holds the consecrated host so people can reverently gaze upon it. The monstrance is designed to let worshippers view and pray before the Eucharist. The other items serve different roles: a ciborium is a covered container used to store hosts, typically in the tabernacle; a chalice holds the wine during Mass; a paten is the plate that carries the host at the altar. So the item shown during adoration is the monstrance.
