The altar of metal № 4, gilding, enamel

The massive and durable metal altar is made of copper and brass, decorated with carvings. The modern altar looks like a table of small dimensions similar to a throne. Its purpose is evident from the name: the place of preparation of gifts and sacrifice.

The church altar is multi-valued and its meaning can vary depending on the stage of worship. This is the birthplace of Jesus Christ, and Golgotha ​​is his place of crucifixion, and the Throne of Glory. Its meaning can not be exaggerated, and therefore, the choice of such an object of the interior of the church should be approached with particular selectivity.
