67 What are the privileged places that are used for the celebration of the Holy Mass? The altar. This is a symbol of Christ himself, present as a sacrificial victim (altar-sacrifice on the Cross) and as the heavenly food that is given to us (altar-Eucharistic table).The altar is the holiest part of the temple and is elevated to show that God’s work is superior to all that of men and women. The linen cloths (altar cloths) that cover the altar indicate the purity that is necessary if we are to welcome God. The altar is dedicated to Him alone, just as the Church is, and cannot be used for other purposes. 203
