What is the taburnacle?

1) It is actually spelled:Tabernacle. The tabernacle is where the consecrated bread( body of christ) is kept. It usually looks like an expensive treasure box with doors. All Catholic Churches have Tabernacles. Beside the tabernacle there is a light or candle. When this light is lit, it means that the consecrated bread is present inside of the tabernacle.


Is a monstrance the same thing as a tabernacle?

No, they are not the same things though they both may hold the Eucharist. The Catholic church keeps the consecrated host, called the Eucharist, in a tabernacle in the church. The tabernacle is usually behind the altar, but visible. It has a door that is always locked. Beside this tabernacle is a lighted candle that burns as long as the Eucharist is in the tabernacle. At the next mass, the Host, will be taken out of the tabernacle to be distributed to the faithful at communion. The monstrance is usually an elaborate, ornate vessel that displays one consecrated host. This display is usually visible for Eucharistic adoration or similar prayer service. After the prayer service, the Host would be put back in the tabernacle.


What do you call a candle that gives honor to the presence of the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle?

Catholic AnswerThe candle by the tabernacle, which is required to be burning anytime Our Blessed Lord is reserved in the tabernacle, is not necessarily red. Most parishes I know have a clear container for the candle, although some have a red one. There is no particular meaning, although red usually refers to the Sacred Heart (Our Blessed Lord, Jesus) and blue means Our Blessed Lady, the Immaculate Heart.
