BEFORE AND AFTER, WHAT DO YOU THINK

A New Ciborium for the Basilica of Christ the King in Paola, Malta

When an altar and sanctuary is further beautified, it is always a cause for rejoicing -- and usually also a matter of great interest to our readers. A little over a year ago we ran an article on a baldachin that was being planned for the basilica of Christ the King in Paola, Malta.  Well only just recently -- just days ago in fact -- that project was finally brought to fruition and we are pleased to be able to share a few images showing the new ciborium now installed.

And Mass ahhhh orientem:

Them those are some candles! Vatican 2’s desire for big, lavish signs and symbols.
