Attaching the Antependium
The mounting
cover should be in place. If linens have already been placed on altar, simply
fold them back to give yourself room to work.
Start at the
center and work to the edges. Secure the antependium to the mounting cover with
a couple of pins to hold it in place; then check to see how you need to adjust
for height.
The antependium
will overlap the top of the altar by 3-4”, and it will wrap around the corners
by 10-12 inches:
Add more pins as
needed, once you have the height adjusted. Then make the corners as smooth as
possible by folding the excess fabric. There are a couple of ways if can be
folded; the important thing is to make it as flat as possible.
Place the linens
over the attached antependium.
I usually leave
the white antependium on the altar, and place the other colors over it as
necessary. This is actually a good way to “store” the white antependium. Usually
I do not put more than one antependium over the white one at a time, though it
is possible to do so if necessary.
