The container that actually holds the eucharist is called a ciborium, it resembles the chalice except it has a lid usually topped with a cross, dove, or image of christ. The eucharist is distributed from the ciborium. The container in which the ciborium is reserved is called a tabernacle. The glass disc that contains a large host for adoration is called a Luna, and is kept in a round container called a capsula, the Luna is placed in a monstrance during benediction of the blessed sacrament. Both the capsula and the ciborium are covered with a veil within the tabernacle.
