"Altar: A Gateway to the Divine" The altar, a sacred space adorned with symbols and relics, serves as a bridge between mortals and the divine. Just like the majestic Winged Victory of Samothrace, also known as Nike of Samothrace, it stands tall and proud, embodying triumph and grace. In St. Teresa of Avila's oil on canvas masterpiece, we witness her spiritual ecstasy as she connects with higher realms through prayer. Similarly, in Egyptian art depicting Akhenaten, Nefertiti, and their three children in relief form, we glimpse into their devotion to gods who ruled over ancient Egypt. At the Temple of San Simon or Maximon resides the Patron Saint of Gamblers and Drunks - a reminder that even those deemed lost can find solace within these hallowed walls. Meanwhile, at Knock in County Mayo Ireland's Apparition site, believers gather seeking solace from heavenly visions. "The Attainment; The Vision of the Holy Grail" reveals Sir Galahad's quest for enlightenment while Sir Bors and Sir Percival accompany him on this sacred journey. In times of war like WW1 depicted by an Army Chaplain fulfilling his duties amidst chaos and despair - altars become sanctuaries for hope. A map outlining Westminster Abbey's Coronation ritual showcases how they are central to royal ceremonies where monarchs receive divine blessings upon ascending thrones. Inside St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna Austria lies another magnificent altar that inspires awe among worshippers who seek spiritual nourishment within its grandeur. Lourdes' Grotto holds profound significance for countless pilgrims who flock there seeking miraculous healing - a testament to faith transcending physical boundaries. Pergamon Altar portrays Athena battling against Alcyoneus - symbolizing our eternal struggle against adversity with divine intervention guiding us towards victory.
