Altar of the Blessed Sacrament

The Altar of the Blessed Sacrament is a special table in a Catholic church where the Eucharist—believed to be the actual body and blood of Jesus Christ—is reserved for worship, prayer, and adoration outside of Mass. It is often located in a dedicated shrine or tabernacle, serving as a focus for reverence and reflection. The altar signifies Christ’s presence among the faithful and provides a central point for adoration, emphasizing the sacred nature of the Eucharist as the source and summit of Catholic life and devotion.
