(a loanword from Spanish)
a religious structure related to Easter; a wooden monument upon which to hold Mass (a loanword from Spanish)
"The monumento was a church-like edifice of wood, essentially a catafalque for very grand funerals, that was set up in front of the main altar for Easter and the death of kings or viceroys; here it would mean the one for Easter, or in this case no doubt a cofradía devoted to it."
