Pictures of Family Altars,
sent to me by gracious readers

Graciously sent by a reader who wishes to remain anoynmous. His description:
"Front and center is a St. Benedict crucifix. "May the holy cross be my light."
The crucifix is illuminated by a votive candle which is lit much of the time we are home.
To either side are beeswax candlesticks which I light while prayingbefore the crucifix
(I'm counting on them this hurricane season!)

To Christ's right-hand side is the Immaculate Conception
and to his left is St. Joseph holding El Nino Jesus (Demetz Classico Collection.)
Before the crucifix is whatever devotional book I am currently using.
A rosary is kept before Our Lady and a photo of a deceased niece is also shown here.
Close by are religious books, incense, and holy water."

Sent by Nicollette. Thanks, Nicollette! She has her Crucifix, an incense burner,
candles, a small easel to hold Holy Cards that depict events of the relevant Season or Saint's Feast...
 

Sent by Sara. Thanks, Sara! She has images of the Sacred Heart
and the Immaculate Heart surmounting a figurine of Our Lord
as He appeared to Sister Faustina, a Crucifix, a statue of Our Lady,
a container of Holy Water, candles, flowers, and her family's rosaries.
