The object Bergoglio is holding is called a monstrance. It is used for displaying the Eucharist, which is sacred to us Catholics

I've never seen one look like that though. I've seen monstrances before but they have a traditional look to them. That one seems to be a modern interpretation to my not knowledgeable eyes.

Plus, the one Francis was holding had no cross at the top, pn the search I just did every monstrance had a cross on the top. Strange.
