Subject: When did Christians start to use altars? |
Bible Note: John, In Catholic Churches the altar symbolises the cross, which was the altar on which Christ was crucified. In the Eastern Rites it also symbolises the tomb. John , I notice you never indicate that while you were a Catholic, you were an idolaltor or that you worshiped statues or crucifixes. Apparently you knew the difference between an object of art that called to mind a sacred subject and an idol. Yet, you often imply that other Catholics did and do. How odd. Emmaus |
