PHOTOGRAPH: An altar with candles and a cross entitled 'Sign of the Cross'.

An altar is a structure upon which offerings such as sacrifices are made for religious purposes. Altars are found at shrines, temples, churches and other places of worship. The altar plays a central role in the celebration of the Eucharist [Holy Communion], which takes place at the altar on which the bread and the wine for consecration are placed. Altars occupy a prominent place in most Christian churches. Commonly among these churches, altars are placed for permanent use within designated places of communal worship (often called sanctuaries).
