Hey Pastor? Why do we cover the altar?
The altar linen that is the color of the season and doesn’t go all the way to the floor is technically called a “superfrontal.” Most people just refer to it as an altar parament. Whatever you call it and whatever color it is, it often has symbols of the Christian...
