A gilded, sun-shaped vessel in which the consecrated host is displayed for adoration and carried in processions.
Ostensoriul are în mijloc o fereastră rotundă, de sticlă, în care se pune ostia, și raze aurite în jur. Se folosește la Adorația euharistică și la procesiunea de Corpus Christi, când este purtat pe străzi sub un baldachin.
