Alec: what fun would that be?

ediemay: it's that thing they put the host in for "public veneration." It looks like a sun on a stand with a glass circle in the middle, where the host goes. I guess Monstrance is the official English.

Buy them at the Vatican gift shop so they are in the little bags that say "oggetti religiosi Citta del Vaticano cupola San Pietro e uscita Grotte Vaticane".

The rosaries will be in boxes with similar writing.
