altar cloths
Sacred table coverings
Altar cloths are the fabric coverings placed on a church altar, typically white linen, used to protect the surface and add ceremonial dignity to religious services.
Different cloths serve specific liturgical functions—the fair linen covers the altar top, while other cloths may hang over the front or sides: The altar cloths were changed to purple for Lent.
