La métamorphose d'un autel
Duration: 05:25

"This French video titled 'The Metamorphosis of the Altar' shows how FSSP priests and acolytes can transform a table altar into an altar for the Tridentine Latin Mass in just a few minutes. After the motu proprio, this can be done in your own parish, as well."

I've seen it, loved it, and posted it on my blog last week.

It is wonderful how quickly and cost-effectively an altar table can be made into a high altar!

What were those things they put towards the back of the altar to hold the candles? Are those strapped down somehow. I'd be worried about the altar being bumped and those things falling over with the candles.

They looked like little benchs. And yes, I was worried about that too, they didn't look too sturdy, especially being placed on the very edge of the altar.

Our altar is literally a wooden trolley on wheels. You would never guess, unless you happened to be in the chapel while the altar servers are changing the cloths.

Cheaper than buying a new marble altar.

Yes, I saw this one two about a week ago. It's very nice. It looks like a solid altar to me, so I don't think there would be any toppling problems.

Doesn't look any more expensive than what supplies my parish has on hand already for easter/christmast/wedding decorations. :)

Cool, but it needs better music. Load up [url="http://blueballfixed.ytmnd.com/"]this link[/url] in the background and watch the video again.
