In the Old Testament, God wanted the Isrealites to be close to Him. So He had Moses build the Trinity a tabernacle, which means dwelling place. Only the Levites could go into the Tabernacle. They had different jobs, but the priests interceded for Israel and would ask God to forgive Israel. But when Jesus was on the cross, the veil was ripped in half, and now we can 'go into the tabernacle'. We can talk to God on our own.

The tabernacle was first intended for the reservation of the Eucharist in a worthy place so that it could be brought to the sick and those absent outside of Mass. As faith in the real presence of Christ in his Eucharist deepened, the Church became conscious of the meaning of silent adoration of the Lord present under the Eucharistic species. It is for this reason that the tabernacle should be located in an especially worthy place in the church and should be constructed in such a way that it emphasizes and manifests the truth of the real presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.

Why do you gunuflect as Catholics?

We genuflect in the presence of Jesus at the tabernacle, or before the sacred host when exposed, as Catholics believe this is the real presence of Jesus. Catholics bow in front of the altar, since it a consecrated sign of Jesus,but genuflect when Jesus is present there in the bread and wine, or at the tabernacle, where the body of Jesus in the form of bread is kept for distribution to the sick.

What do you call a candle that gives honor to the presence of the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle?

Catholic AnswerThe candle by the tabernacle, which is required to be burning anytime Our Blessed Lord is reserved in the tabernacle, is not necessarily red. Most parishes I know have a clear container for the candle, although some have a red one. There is no particular meaning, although red usually refers to the Sacred Heart (Our Blessed Lord, Jesus) and blue means Our Blessed Lady, the Immaculate Heart.
