• House, Sacrament

A tabernacle usually situated on the north or Gospel side of a church outside the sanctuary. Here the Blessed Sacrament was kept in a monstrance behind locked metal doors of lattice work through which the Host could be dimly seen by the faithful. They were used extensively throughout central Europe, especially in the 14th and 15th centuries.
