"The Celestial Church Altar is a Holy space for spiritual connection, prayer, and worship. It's a holy place where angels descend and ascend to heaven, delivering messages. This sacred space bridges a short connection distance on earth to the heavenly bodies. Here, our worship, prayers, and requests ascend to the heavens, and our blessings, rewards, and answers to prayers are brought to us. It's a place where angels sing 'Holy, Holy, Holy' to the Most High."
In Celestial church,the altar is considered a holy place representing God's throne, where prayers, incense, and sacrifices are offered. Lighting and Incense
