13. Ambo of the Epistle Writers
To the right of the sanctuary is the Ambo (lectern) of the Epistle Writers, also the
work of the de Courten. Used by lectors and cantors during the Sunday Mass and special
liturgies, this Ambo depicts the authors of the Apostolic letters to the early Church
communities: Peter, with keys to the Kingdom of God; Paul, who died by the sword; James,
representing faith sustained by good works; and Jude, carrying a whip representing
correction. |
