Altars

The first mention of an altar is found in the Old Testament during the life of the righteous Noah. The altars of that period had nothing in common with the altars of the modern temple, but their purpose and symbolism remain the same — a place for preparing gifts and sacrifices. Initially, the altar was made of stones stacked in a special way, on top of which the sacrifice was placed. The image of the modern altar came to us from the Middle Ages: a low table that looks like a throne.

As a sacred attribute of the temple, the altar carries information about the life and death of Jesus Christ, the formation of the church, and is a symbol of the heavenly throne. As a sacred place, only a priest can touch it.

Our catalogue offers altars of various sizes and shapes: angular, rectangular and pentagonal. As for the material, the most popular and sought-after is wood, mostly of valuable species. Carved patterns, icons and christograms look incredible on a wooden altar.

Here you will also find a metal altar made of copper and brass with gilding and enamelling, or a marble altar. We make each altar in accordance with all church canons and rules, using different framing technologies and materials to create an individual solution for each customer
