jen.esis Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I was in religion class and my teacher said that the altar symbolizes Jesus and that's why we bow to it. I had always bowed out of reverence to the sacrifice that takes place there. I really would like to know which one is correct. Or is it a personal thing? . I don't know if it makes a difference, but he attends a Latin mass vs my Latin Rite mass said in English. In Christ, Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouisvilleFan Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I guess everything symbolizes Jesus in some way, so I wouldn't say your teacher was wrong. Your reasoning is correct and bowing is definitely the proper gesture to make toward the altar. It's likely one of those things that teachers find easier to explain in very simple terms to an entire classroom. After teaching my 6th grade CCD class that A.D. stands for Anno Domini, one of them told me that Sister taught it means After Death, as if to see if I would call her a liar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
