 Altars

Traditionally a table and three couches inhabited the divine meetinghouse; by the Third Century, a mensa, an altar for the Eucharist and an armchair known as Cathedra adorned the worship room. The altar was viewed as the table of the Lord, and the main focus of the ceremony. Centrally located, the clergymen could move about the altar freely and within view of the congregation.
