Altar of Repose : : Today is Holy Thursday. In anticipation for Mass tonight, we've been decorating the altar of repose with dozens of white and yellow roses. This is where the Holy Eucharist -- Christ -- will reside until Easter vigil. It is not in the church. It symbolizes the fact that He is gone, descended to the dead on Good Friday and Holy Saturday, and returns {to the church's tabernacle}, risen from the dead, on Easter!
