side altars (altars (religious fixtures), <altars and altar components>, ... Components (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Altars in Christian churches that are under the same ecclesiastical canons as the high altar, but considered subordinate to the high altar. Side altars are typically placed at the head of a side aisle, along the sides of the aisle, or in a bay or chapel; they are often decorated with an altarpiece, wall paintings, windows, or other art referring to the titular saint to whom the altar is dedicated. Rules may state the allowable size, number of steps, or absence of a tabernacle for a side altar. Side altars were ranked in importance; the side altar on the Gospel side of the high altar had the highest status, and the counterpart on the Epistle side had the second highest rank. Side altars appeared in church architecture by the 6th century; they became prime places for members of the congregation to display their wealth and importance through patronage.

Additional Notes: |

| Dutch ..... De twee nevenaltaren op de grens van koor en schip die het hoogaltaar flankeren worden de zijaltaren genoemd. |
| Portuguese ..... Altares em igrejas cristãs que estão sob os mesmos cânones eclesiásticos que o altar-mor, mas considerados subordinados ao altar-mor. Altares laterais são tipicamente colocados na cabeça de um corredor lateral, ao longo dos lados do corredor ou em uma baía ou capela; são frequentemente decorados com um retábulo, pinturas de parede, janelas ou outras obras de arte que se referem ao santo titular a quem o altar é dedicado. As regras podem indicar o tamanho permitido, o número de etapas ou a ausência de um tabernáculo para um altar lateral. Altares laterais foram classificados em importância; o altar lateral no lado evangélico do altar-mor tinha o status mais alto, e a contraparte no lado da Epístola tinha o segundo posto mais alto. Altares laterais apareceram na arquitetura da igreja no século VI; eles se tornaram lugares privilegiados para os membros da congregação mostrarem sua riqueza e importância por meio do patrocínio. |
