Altars
In many churches, the altar is the structure upon which the Eucharist is celebrated. It is usually centrally located in the sanctuary, and as such the focus of attention. It may have certain objects placed upon it such as a cross, candles or flowers. Many larger churches have a side altar, often used for smaller services such as Matins or by church affiliated groups such as the Mothers' Union.
