The altar welcomes visitors seeking the silence of the church or solace. It embraces and protects the community of believers during the service.
The new altar recedes into the background thanks to the chosen material “Trani light” limestone with its calm colors. It gains its dominance in the room through the celebration of mass. Its solidity supports this physical presence.
The ambo symbolizes the proclamations through its form – the word as a pillar of faith in the room, a transmitter. The shelf is mobile, so that the Gospel can also be shown outside the service during the course of the year.
The mobile sedilia can be arranged in a circle to close the communal gathering of the faithful around the altar.
The existing ruby-red glass cylinder is used for the eternal light and decorated with a gilded crown of thorns, like a gloriole.
Easter candlesticks and processional candlesticks are made of patinated, polished brass – the candlesticks themselves rise from darkness to light.
