    As we face the altar area the table of oblation<\/strong> on which the bread and wine are prepared for the liturgy stands on the left side of the altar table. The chalice<\/strong>\u2014the cup for the wine\u2014and the diskos<\/strong>\u2014the round plate, elevated on a stand, for the bread\u2014are kept on this table. These vessels are normally decorated with iconographic engravings, Christian symbols, and the sign of the cross.
<\/span><\/p>\n

    On this table there is also a special liturgical knife\u2014symbolically called the spear<\/strong>\u2014which is used for cutting the eucharistic bread, and a liturgical spoon<\/strong> for administering holy communion to the people. There are also special covers for the chalice and diskos and a cruciform piece of metal called the star<\/strong> which holds the cover over the eucharistic bread on the diskos. A sponge and cloths for drying the chalice after the liturgy are also usually kept here. The oblation table is decorated in a manner similar to that of the altar table.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Above the table of oblation<\/strong> (the table on which the gifts for holy communion are prepared), which stands in the altar area to the left of the altar table, one might find various icons. A favorite one is that of Christ praying in Gethsemene: \u201cLet this cup pass\u2026\u201d Another is that of the Nativity, although this is due to a symbolical interpretation of the Divine Liturgy which is not indicative of the fundamental liturgical tradition of the Church.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
