Things to Notice  The large, golden “thing” that holds the Eucharist is called a Monstrance  It comes from a Latin word that means “to show”  It’s richness is to remind us that this is Jesus coming to us in the form of bread

While You Are There  People generally come in and do a double genuflection – that means you go down on both knees  Some people read Scriptures  Some pray the Rosary  Some quietly talk to Jesus in their hearts  Some simply sit and look at Jesus in the Eucharist
