“Happy coincidence”: Langenpreising receives an altar as a gift. New altar is travertine stone, also known as antique marble, which was also used in St.

Peter's Basilica in Rome. New reliquary tomb will be built into the altar, which will be closed by the stonemason immediately at the consecration. “The altar is simply not an object to be carried away,” says the priest. ‘This is a very good change for the church,’ says the pastor.
