Roman Missal - Altar Edition

- An exquisitely crafted volume, very practical and with reinforced binding
- Elegantly laid out in typescript that is both beautiful and extremely readable
- More than 130 reproductions of sacred art: paintings, drawings, woodcuts and engravings
- A work of art in itself that answers Pope Benedict XVI’s call to pray in beauty: "Beauty is not mere decoration, but rather an essential element of the liturgical action, since it is an attribute of God himself and his revelation."
