Tabernacle
The Eucharist is kept in a tabernacle. The tabernacle is the gold box you see on the stand in this picture. This church has several chairs set up in front of it, so people can come and pray quietly.
The candle next to the tabernacle is lit when the Eucharist is present inside of it. When you see that the candle is lit, you can bow your head or genuflect to show reverence and respect.
