JUST TOO COOL: Unboxing my new portable altar Posted on 9 March 2018 by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf I recently had the pleasure of unboxing my new portable “backpack” altar from St. Joseph’s Apprentice. Looking for something for a priest, rookie or vet? You never have to worry about how what you get will be packaged. “But Father! But Father!,” you are saying, “What are those little gizmos?” You shall see. Eventually. Once I get the whole thing set up. The other portable altars (aka Ultimate Priest Gift™) have internal storage. Look at how the grain is. Hard to tell, but there is a depth to it and a opalescent quality. The underside. NB: the two little knobs. They open up the retractable legs which bring the altar up to perfect altar height when placed on a standard table… or jeep hood. There’s a magnet that holds the wings/legs in place. Cover up and mensa wings deployed. There are little hooks on the front face. I added little eyes to the antependia of my travel vestments. The purple and rose set… Another view.
