IT HURTS MY BRAIN 🧠

Do you notice the strange oddity that hurts my brain? 🧠

Asymmetrical candles. Aaagh!

It's not an Italian church if there aren't 2-3 candles on one end of the mensa and a potted plant on the other, and never the twain shall meet.

Certainly plants and flower arrangements should not be placed on the altar mensa (which i thought was a rubric), although I quite like the Neocatechumenal way’s traditional of placing cut flower arrangements around the edge of the altar.

Are there 3 or 4 candles?

Why would you choose an uneven number and what did they do with the rest of the big six set?

There’s a missionary order in charge of my parish church that has 3 of the big six next to the altar and others by the lectern, it drives me crazy.
