@st.edwardcath.ch.jukwa: 🌿 Why does the priest incense the altar during Holy Mass? The altar is not just a table. It is the sacred place where the Holy Eucharist is celebrated and is a symbol of Christ Himself, the cornerstone of our faith. During Mass, the priest incenses the altar as a sign of honor, reverence, and worship offered to God. The rising incense also reminds us of the words of Scripture: “Let my prayer rise before You like incense.” — Psalm 141:2 Every gesture in the Holy Mass has a deeper meaning, drawing us closer to Christ and reminding us of the sacred mysteries we celebrate. 🙏 Were you aware of this before today? #HolyMass #CatholicFaith #CatholicChurch #CatholicGhana #TheMassExplained
