Main Altar

The Italian marble main altar displays mosaic representations of wheat and grapes, symbolizing the bread and wine of the sacrament of the Eucharist. The center mosaic, a mother pelican feeding her young, is also a Eucharistic symbol. Four stone medallions, as revealed in Ezekiel 10:14, of the four Evangelists: Matthew, a human head; Mark, the head of a lion; Luke, the head of an ox and John, the head of an eagle. Two similar side altars hold the Tabernacle for the Blessed Sacrament (left side altar) and the repository for the Holy Oils (right side altar).
