"Limestone Altar Stone With Its Tomb - 19th Century"

It is difficult to assign a date to our altar stone. Imposing with its dimensions, it has its tomb in which a relic has been inserted. The altar stone is undoubtedly the most sacred element in a church. Meeting point between the earthly and celestial worlds, it is here that the Divine operates. To be consecrated, a relic was also sealed there and obligatorily.
Our altar stone still has its relic inserted in the side of this stone. We find there the 5 classic crosses which represent the five wounds of Christ. Dimensions of 32.5 cm by 32.5 cm - Thickness of 3 cm Condition of use
