Marble Holy Tables for Temples
The church communion holy table is the centerpiece of the temple. It is located in the altar area of the church and is the place where the main sacrament, the Eucharist, is performed. The church holy table symbolizes Jesus Christ, the Holy Sepulcher.
Historically, the first Christians celebrated the Eucharist on the marble tombs of martyrs. Later, because of the cheapness and ease of processing, holy tables made of wood and metal began to be used everywhere. Nowadays, there is a return to the tradition of the first Christians: marble holy tables are again taking their place in church practice.
Today, at the consecration of a marble holy table, a piece of the relics of the saints is sealed in its upper part in memory of the ancient tradition of serving on the stone tombs of the martyrs. Thus, each Divine Liturgy is attended by both the living faithful (the Church on Earth) and the deceased (the Church in Heaven).
What are the advantages of the marble holy table?
Marble is a durable material that is highly resistant to wear and damage. Therefore, it is an ideal choice for interior and exterior decoration of temples, and church utensils. The main advantages of marble holy tables for the temple:
- Aesthetic appeal. The beautiful texture of the material gives the communion table a majestic and noble appearance, creating the solemn atmosphere in the temple.
- Ease of maintenance. The material can be easily cleaned with the help of special detergents. Therefore, keeping the marble holy table clean does not require significant physical effort.
- Resistance to temperature fluctuations and humidity. Marble withstands sudden changes in temperature, does not crack or crumble, preserving for centuries its pristine appearance.
- Resistance to fading. Many varieties of marble are resistant to fading and darkening. Products made of them retain their bright and saturated colors for many years.
- Uniqueness. Thanks to natural variations in material patterns and hues, each communion table is unique. Two products of the same model will look different due to the specific texture of the material.
Marble combines well with various architectural styles, bringing harmony and completeness to the church interior. A holy table made of beautiful marble expresses our reverent attitude to the holy place.
