Set of a tetrapod and altar made of oak with gilding

“The place where Communion is received, and the place where bread and wine are consecrated, serve one common sacrament.”

The tetrapod is a work of church art that serves as a platform for placing the Holy Communion, icons, and other sacred items. The altar, or sacrificial table, is a sacred place where the bread and wine are consecrated during the liturgy. Together, these two elements, made of oak with gilding, form a harmonious set for the temple.

Purpose of the product

The tetrapod has the shape of a rectangular table and symbolizes the universality of the church, being located in the central part of the temple or at the entrance, emphasizing its importance in worship. The altar is the center of the liturgical life of the church, where key rituals are performed that connect believers with holiness and divinity. The design of both elements is rich in symbolism that reflects the spiritual meanings of the temple.
