Altar-ation! You Must Watch This



This was emailed to me today. What do you think of using nave altars now? What a transformation.

Fr, an excellent video, thank you. I wonder if they went back to the old one after?

That was very interesting, especially the metal looking slab they stuck on the front of the altar for the frontal. Do you know what the back story was behind this? I am also curious if this was for a one time event like an extraordinary mass, or was to be used permanently.

Very interesting indeed...

What a revelation! Delightful. I had to post it at http://rhodeislandaltars.com/
The frontal treatment is nothing new- ages ago metal frontals were attached just like this. Made my day!

Amazing what can be done with a picnic table! Still, there are too many candle sticks...if you're going to be traditional you should follow the traditional rubrics and ritual rather than inventing something vain and precious.

Archer: if I remember correctly these were IBP priests saying Mass in a parish in the Bordeaux Archdiocese.
