I more like candles on the altar rather than flanking or on corners like a catafalque. Personal preference.

And their seasonal flowers, including those in front of the altar, are well done.<br /><br />Reading their history, the church suffered TWO pretty catastrophic fires along the way.Fr. Michael J.

There is a fair amount of distance between the altar of sacrifice and the reredos.<br /><br />Although this altar is nicely done, it is a far cry from the utterly magnificent high altar and reredos which once graced the sanctuary. You will find a picture of this on page 48 of a booklet commemorating the parish's history. TJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07280218128963202431noreply@blogger.com
