NO DOUBLE ALTARS OR DOUBLE SANCTUARY HERE!

This is how you design a sanctuary. No double altars! The stunningly beautiful reredos does not contain an additional altar and the altar of Sacrifice looks like one unit with the reredos, although free-standing. It looks like the main altar, not the reredos if it had another altar attached and higher! 

Perhaps my only critique would be that the six candlesticks should be behind the altar on the reredos and only lit for Sung Masses on Sundays or Holy Days. Then the altar would have only two candlesticks with the crucifix in the center. 

I vacillate on that though.
