Galerie Le Jardin Des Moines, antiques in Sacred Art and religious objects, offers you a Limestone Altar Stone And Relic
It's difficult to assign a precise date to our altar stone. Imposing in size, it has its own tomb into which a relic has been inserted. The altar stone is without doubt the most sacred element in a church. The meeting point between the terrestrial and celestial worlds, it is here that the Divine operates.
To be consecrated, a relic had to be sealed here. Our altar stone still has its relic embedded in its side. It features the classic 5 crosses representing the five wounds of Christ. These consecration crosses are usually twelve in number when a church is consecrated, like the number of apostles, and five of these crosses are traditionally engraved on the altar stone.
Last but not least, the 33 cm length can only subconsciously remind us of the Crucifixion, whose altar stone reminds us of Christ's Sacrifice. In numerology, 33 is a sacred number representing Divine Truth .... Syncretism or will, each person will see in it the answer they wish. Dimensions 33 cm by 33 and 2.5 cm thick Good condition - a few scratches and microchips.
