Ambo

 

Also in the sanctuary one finds the ambo.  It is the table from which God feeds us with his life-giving Word.  Carved from the same rich red marble as the altar, the ambo rests on four pillars reminiscent of the four evangelists, Matthew, mark, Luke and John, who first proclaimed the Good News.  The similarity to the altar in design and materials expressed the integral relationship between the Liturgy of the Word and Liturgy of the Eucharist.
