| Abstract |
There are many altars in a liturgy room of the Romanesque church building. They are connected with the graves of martyrs and saints. Every altar has its distinguished position. High-altar(=first high altar) is in the east(=main) choir(=sanctuary) and supported with sub-altars. When a church has a west(=second) choir, there is a second high altar, which is also supported with sub-altars. Every church has a cross altar deep in the nave, with many churches having it in their centre, which acts as the high altar for the congregation. Many sub-altars are erected in the sanctuary area, transept, aisle and another area with a distinguished combination. Generally, the angel altar stands in west. In this paper, the combination and position of the altars will be studied. |
