In Latin is where the etymological origin of the term custody that now concerns us is found. Specifically, we can say that it emanates from “custodia”, which means “guard” and that, in turn, emanates from “custos”, which can be translated as “guardian”.
Custody is about the action and effect of guarding (keep with care and vigilance ). For example: “The accused was placed in the custody of the Federal Police”, “A guard is in charge of the custody of the building”, “Can I leave my dog in your custody for a few days? I have to travel for work and I can’t take it with me”.
The person who is in charge of guarding a prisoner, a building or a valuable object is also known as custody: “The fugitive murdered his custody and escaped from the vehicle that was taking him to jail”, “The custody of the palace was reduced by the kidnappers, who entered through the front door”, “Investigators believe that the custody of the jewel was bribed”.

In the sphere of the Catholic religion, the monstrance is the piece of gold where the host is placed after its consecration for the adoration of the faithful. This element, which can also be made of another precious material, can also be known as a monstrance or ostensorium.
Monstrances emerged in the mid- 13th century on the feast of Corpus Christi, where the Eucharist is celebrated. However, these pieces only became more common in the 15th century. Initially, reliquaries, crosses or images that were adapted to a new use were destined. In the mid- fifteenth century, however, the usual form of custody began to be defined. Currently the most frequent form is that of a radiant sun.
