I found a website for a guy who makes them, but they are definitely pricey. I would love to find one that wasn't an arm and a leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Adam Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 yes it is, we have a lot of wood workers here in town and it was put up for sale for $60 at our church as part of a fundraiser. I bought it before they could even get a price sticker on it. You can purchase kneelers from Nelson Woodcraft for a reasonable price, but it is not in their catalogue, you have to call and talk to them directly.

We have a old wooden dry sink (which holds our rosaries and prayer cards) that is our "alter" that on top holds a 20 inch statue of the blessed lady. A first class relic of HH Pope Pius X is there, the blessed lady is surrounded by various statues and candles. Above we have a picture of the Sacred Heart. We gather around it to pray evening family rosary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tab'le De'Bah-Rye Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) The home is known as the domestic church. What church is complete without an alter. And i was lead to believe it used to be standard to have a crucifix on a wall in full view of someone entering the front door of your home. When i had my own apartment i had both. Though my alter was more a shrine with a few small icons and a place to leave my rosary ,bible and missal. I rarely prayed there though, on the odd occasion i did by myself or when a visitor wanted to pray or do a rosary with me. I also had a few larger icons on my lounge room wall and the apostles creed and another prayer on my toilet wall facing the toilet, oh and an icon of the holy mother and cross on the wall above my bed, and in my guest room a picture of a beach and palm trees at sunset with a psalm inscribed on it that said " from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets his name will be praised.". Sounds like overkill perhaps but all these things are great reminders of whose house it actually is, JESUS house. :) I lost just about everything in my move back to my parents 2 years ago. :( To much baggage to carry. God is Good. No photos sorry. :( But AwE-sOmE alters everyone. Alleluia. Edited May 11, 2014 by Tab'le De'Bah-Rye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
