Liturgical Furniture
Liturgical furniture refers to the various pieces of furniture used in places of worship, particularly in Christian churches. This includes items such as the altar, where the Eucharist is celebrated, and the pulpit, from which sermons are delivered. Other important pieces include the lectern, used for reading scripture, and the baptismal font, where baptisms are performed.
These items are often designed with specific symbolism and functionality in mind, reflecting the traditions and practices of the denomination. The arrangement and style of liturgical furniture can vary widely, influenced by factors such as local customs, architectural design, and the overall liturgical calendar.
