Monstrance banner.
"Ecce panis angelorum sit panis hominum..." 'Behold the bread of angels has become the bread of mankind'. A banner embroidered by the Dominican sisters at Stone, Staffordshire, depicting the Blessed Sacrament in a monstrance. The Lord Jesus Christ is present in the Eucharist: a great mystery of faith. As such, we take the Sacrament of the Altar into our streets in procession on the feast of Corpus Christi, as a witness to an unbelieving world of our faith, and as a blessing for the Lord traverses the streets again, as once he did in Jerusalem. The Sacrament is carried in the monstrance, a word derived from the Latin 'to show' (monstrare). Today, 14 June, is Corpus Christi in England & Wales.
