Chapel where the transubstantiated Christ may be worshipped

I had to look that one up. Now why couldn't you just put risen! At first I thought they had a train sub-station there which WOULD have been a cool station!

It would be a gorgeous train station!
Transubstantiation can be read about on the ever friendly Wiki at:

The brief byline is that it is the Catholic belief that the bread and the wine literally get changed into the body and blood of Christ during the Eucharist rather than communion being a metaphorical ritual.

This is not a belief that I personally share nor does most of the Protestant church. Personally I find it uncomfortable that a chapel is set aside to venerate a loaf of bread but I realize that to Catholics this is rather missing the point.
