EmilyAnn Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I don't anymore (don't have the space) but I used to have one on top of my dresser. I kept on it: My bible The Imitation of Christ Two angel figurines I'd been given My rosaries & rosary booklets Various candles My cross necklace (when I wasn't wearing it) This glass statue type thing with the Crucifixion and the Blessed Mother on it Various holy cards A thing saying "Jesus loves you and so I" on it that was a gift My baptismal candle Now I'd add my crucifixes and my statue of the Blessed Mother.

Kateri89 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I don't actually have an altar but I do have various religious items all over my apartment. I have 2 different statues of Our Lady of Guadalupe and a candle with her on it, an Our Lady of Grace statue, Our Lady of Fatima statue, Sacred Heart of Jesus statue, and St. Kateri statue. I also have a crucifix in my living room and a cross in hanging in my bedroom with the stages of the passion of Christ carved into it. I have rosaries sitting on my nightstand and a bookshelf full of great Catholic books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
