Note: Chief altars in churches, typically raised on an elevated plane in the sanctuary where it may be seen simultaneously by all in the body of the church. In the early days of the Church the altar was usually placed in a chapel at the head of the edifice, the back of which looked directly towards the East and in such a way that it could be seen from any part by those in the church. When it was impossible to erect a church in such a manner, the altar was located opposite the chief doorway.

German ..... Hauptaltar in einer Kirche, üblicherweise auf einer erhöhten Ebene im Altarbereich errichtet, wo er von allen Anwesenden in der Kirche gleichzeitig gesehen werden kann. In der Frühzeit der Kirche wurde der Altar für gewöhnlich in einer Kapelle an der Kopfseite des Gebäudes, dessen Rückseite direkt gegen Osten ausgerichtet war, so ausgerichtet, dass er aus jedem Teil der Kirche gesehen werden konnte. Wenn es unmöglich war, eine Kirche auf diese Art zu errichten, wurde der Altar gegenüber dem Haupteingang aufgestellt. 
Portuguese ..... Altares principais em igrejas, normalmente elevados em um plano elevado no santuário, onde podem ser vistos simultaneamente por todos no corpo da igreja. Nos primórdios da Igreja, o altar era geralmente colocado em uma capela na cabeça do edifício, cuja parte de trás dava para o leste e de maneira que pudesse ser vista de qualquer parte pelos membros da igreja. Quando era impossível erguer uma igreja dessa maneira, o altar estava localizado em frente à porta principal.
