A Communion table or Lord's Table are terms used by many Protestant churches, particularly from Reformed, Baptist, Congregational, and non-denominational traditions, for the table used for preparation of the Eucharist (or "Lord's Supper"). The use of a simple table instead of an altar reflects these churches' rejection of any suggestion of sacrifice in the Holy Communion: they believe that the Passion of Jesus Christ was a perfect sacrifice for sins made once for all (-10:4). The table may be very simple, adorned perhaps with only a linen cloth, or with an open Bible and a pair of candlesticks. Some Communion tables often bear the inscription ''Do This in Remembrance of Me'' from the Last Supper (, ), indicating the belief in Holy Communion being a memorial rather than a sacrifice. Such a table may be temporary, being moved into place when there is a Communion Service. ==See also== * Altar * Eucharist 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Communion table」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
