The plain table before the pulpit in Protestant churches, where bread and wine are prepared for the Lord’s Supper.
În bisericile reformate, Masa Domnului este de obicei o masă de lemn sau de piatră, adesea acoperită cu o față de masă brodată, așezată în mijlocul bisericii, nu într-un altar separat — pentru ca toată comunitatea să se adune în jurul ei.
