Holy Tables

Presenting Holy Tables from Istok

 

Every piece of furniture within the church walls is chosen for its significance. The Holy tables are made commonly from wood and used for several different purposes. There are certain traditions that need to be followed to the book, in order to conduct the rites and furniture such as the memorial table or Panikhida table are used to remember those who have departed from this world as well as to light candles and place them in front of the icon.

 

The Purpose of Holy Tables

Church furniture is chosen after careful consideration. The pews, Altar, Holy table and the Oblation table are all a part of the aura within the church. Each item is used for its specific purpose and kept in a place designed especially for them. Just as the memorial tables are used for memorial services, the Oblation table is used to prepare the bread and wine for the liturgy. Several vital items are kept on this table including icons.
