Oh My Gulay!
'Oh my vegetables!'
This is a picture of a truly gigantic 'processional' monstrance from the city of Seville in Spain. I say 'processional' because there's no way that could fit under the roof of a normal church-- but then again, I could be wrong, as many cathedrals in days past were built with titanic proportions. Do note the double halo/sunbursts and how it is virtually its own altar. The Blessed Sacrament has not yet been exposed.

Forgive, but permíte a correction:
The photo is of the Monument-Reserve Eucharistic Holy Thursday in the Cathedral of Seville; front is the "step" Palio of Our Lady of Tears.
Monument-Reserve is a huge altar of silver, the late seventeenth century. At its heart is placed an Urn - Tabernacle gold for reserves of the Blessed Sacrament (distinguishes itself in the center of the altar table). Fraternities Easter go ahead and make station opposite the Monument / Reserve, which is the time shown in the photograph.
Sorry my english so wrong.
A greeting from priestly Seville.
