Summary edit
| Description |
The Nativity Chapel and The Lord's Table, St Andrew's Cathedral, Singapore The Nativity Chapel This is also used for worship services. It is so called because of the reredos at the East end: this is made of alabaster and the mosaic (made in Italy) shows the worship of the shepherds at the birth of Christ in Bethlehem. It was designed by the architect, Sir Reginald Blomfield and erected in memory of the wife of Bishop Hose in 1905. The Lord's Table The pulpit and the Lord's Table together symbolize the 2 main elements in Anglican worship - the Word and the Sacrament. On the Lord's table the bread and wine are placed in accordance with Jesus' command: "Take eat... this is my Body given for you... this is my Blood shed for you. Do this is in remembrance of me." This is called the "sacrament" of Holy Communion and because it is the central act of our worship, therefore the Lord's Table is the centre and focal point of the whole building. The 2 Large Candlesticks and The Great Cross These stand on the Lord's table and on the high altar at the East end of the Cathedral respectively. They are made of silver-plated bronze and were designed and made for the high altar in 1955 by D. Knight of Wellinborough, England. They were presented in January 1942 in memory of many hundreds of men who lost their lives at the sinking of HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse. |
