Mystery! Awe! Wonder! LOST!!!
Rieti, Italy’s Basilica Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta
Do you notice the strange oddity that hurts my brain? ðŸ§
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.Nick
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.
