I believe a prayer table in a classroom represents a sacred space where God invites us into a relationship through prayer.

Symbols that make up a prayer table.

The Sign of the Cross is a symbol of Trinity the three persons that make up one God.

A cross symbolizes the sacrifice Jesus made through his death on the cross.

A cloth with colour defined by the liturgical celebration is placed underneath.

Candles are placed on the altar reminding us Jesus is the light of the world.

The Bible is the Sacred Scripture where we learn how to live our lives according to the traditions and stories of the old and new testament. Modelled by the miracles and teachings of Jesus who exemplified the power of God’s presence in our lives.

We can also praise and thank God by decorating our table with our own symbols whether they are from nature or artwork that has been done in class.

Prayer tables God’s special place in  our class.
