Lunettes / Monstrances
As a focal point for prayer and veneration, the design of a lunette or monstrance is not merely decorative but an expression of reverence for the Real Presence of Christ. Finding the right vessel for your parish or chapel is an important act of devotion.
Our collection of lunettes, monstrances, and reliquaries is thoughtfully curated to provide your sacred space with a worthy instrument for this holy purpose, crafted with dignity and care to inspire contemplation.
Shop by Sacred Purpose: Lunettes, Monstrances and Reliquaries
Understanding the specific function of each sacred vessel is the first step in making a meaningful choice for your liturgy. This collection is carefully organised to serve distinct devotional practices.
Here you will find the classic Catholic monstrance, designed for the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament during Adoration or Benediction. For the veneration of the relics of saints, our reliquaries provide a beautiful and respectful housing.
We also offer essential components like the lunette, the small, circular container that securely holds the Host within the larger vessel, including practical options such as a host repository with an included lunette for safekeeping and display. Each piece is crafted to fulfil its sacred duty with grace.
Explore Gold-Finished Styles for a Timeless Look
The purpose of these vessels is beautifully complemented by their physical appearance. Gold has traditionally been used in the Church to signify majesty, glory, and the divine. Our selection of gold-finished vessels honours this tradition, offering a timeless look that brings a sense of solemnity to any altar.
The radiant finish captures and reflects the light, creating a powerful visual focus for prayer and helping to form lasting monstrance images in the minds of the congregation. You can select from simple, unadorned polished gold designs that speak with quiet elegance, or more intricate pieces where the material itself becomes a statement of faith.
Choose by Decorative Motif: Angels, Wheat and More
Beyond the timeless appeal of a gold finish, you can find vessels rich with Christian symbolism. Choosing a piece with a specific decorative motif adds a deeper layer of theological meaning to your worship.
Our collection includes designs featuring angels, representing the heavenly hosts who worship God eternally, or sheaves of wheat, a direct and poignant symbol of the bread that becomes the Body of Christ.
You may also find a monstrance with a solid marble base, symbolising Christ as the strong and unshakeable foundation of our faith. These artistic details are not merely ornamental; they serve as visual catechisms, enriching the devotional experience for all who gaze upon them.
Find the Right Size for Your Liturgical Setting
The symbolic power of a liturgical vessel is best expressed when its proportions are in harmony with its surroundings. The physical dimensions of a monstrance or reliquary are a key consideration for any sacred space.
Our range includes a variety of sizes to suit every context, from a grand 41cm vessel suitable for processions and large parish churches, to more modest 23cm or 28cm reliquaries perfect for a side chapel, school, or private oratory.
Browse Specialty Lunette Components
The thoughtful details that support liturgy often go unnoticed, yet they are vital. A Catholic monstrance is incomplete without its lunette, the crucial component that holds the consecrated Host with reverence and security. We recognise that these specialised parts may need to be sourced individually.
For this reason, our collection includes specialty lunette components and unique designs, such as bi-colour angel models that can stand alone or be part of a larger vessel. This attention to detail reflects a deep understanding of liturgical needs, providing you with access to essential items for the proper care and use of your sacred vessels.
