Portuguese term or phrase: Oratório
Hello there,

I'd prefer to get answers from English speakers, please. Thanks for understanding :)

Does anyone know the name of those Christian shrine-like pieces such as the one in the link below? Is it really called an oratory, or is it a shrine or something else?

Explanation:
An oratory is a small chapel. I think "shrine" fits the given image better. See the link for one example.
