Descripción
Consecrated corporals of a kind used only in the Greek Rite, analogous to the portable altar of the Roman Rite. It is a linen or silk altar covering into which sacred relics have been sewn. It is required to place the antimension on the altar in Greek churches just as an altar stone is required in the Latin churches, and no Mass may be said upon an altar of that rite which has no antimension.
