Simbology
The name of tabernacle comes from late latin tabernaculum = curtain, which comes from taberna, which means “little house composed by wooden boards = tabellae”. It is the most important place of the church, as it holds the Holy Body of Christ. It is the place of God’s House, for that reason it must be characteristic, peculiar, beautiful, realized with good materials and refined technique. In the moment of Eucharistic, the minister takes out from tabernacle the hosts hold inside the ciborium to be distribuited to worshippers.
Design and composition of tabernacles
Our firm realize altar of wall tabernacles.
We create door with or without exposition , with lunetta and little door which permits to worshipper to adore the Holy Host as it opens 180°.
Tabernacles have varius dimensions, with bronze rays and design which can be simple but beautiful, or classical and telling religious symbology.
Some of our doors are realized by unique drawings by our chiseller (who attended the Accademy of Beauty Arts in Brera – Milan). Other doors are made from melting process of bronze or also by the electrical chemical production (elettroformatura), which is a technique which permits more precision in the creation of low relief.
