communion table
Church sacrament furniture
A communion table is the table in a Christian church where the bread and wine are placed for the Eucharist or Lord's Supper.
In Protestant traditions especially, this term is preferred over altar, reflecting theological differences about the nature of communion as a memorial meal rather than a sacrifice.
The communion table typically occupies a central position at the front of the sanctuary.
The flowers were arranged on the communion table for Easter service.
