基督教祭壇、佈道壇或讀經臺前方所懸之鑲板或掛幔，上具雕刻、圖畫、刺繡或其他裝飾。祭壇飾物可用木頭、象牙、貴重金屬及刺繡布品等各種材料製成。由於貴重的掛幔在壇前缺乏屏障，故有時基於安全考量，會被移至祭壇上方，成為祭壇後部裝飾。壇前掛幔上所飾之圖像類型繁多，最常見的題材是坐在寶座上的聖王基督，其周圍環繞新約聖經中的場景。掛幔若延伸至祭壇側邊和背面，則稱為「禮罩（paraments）」或「祭壇披布（paliotti）」。

禮罩

英文....	Carved, painted, embroidered, or otherwise decorated panels or hangings for the front of a Christian altar, pulpit, or lectern. Antependia are of various materials including wood, ivory, precious metals, and embroidered textiles. The exposed position of precious antependia meant that they were sometimes moved on top of the altar for safety, thus becoming retables. The iconography of antependia varies, but the most common subject was Christ in Majesty surrounded by scenes from the New Testament. If the coverings are continued around the sides and back they are called "paraments" or paliotti.
荷蘭語....	Beeldgesneden, beschilderde, geborduurde of anderszins gedecoreerde panelen of voorhangsels aan de voorzijde van een altaar, preekstoel of lessenaar in een christelijke gebedsruimte. Antependia kunnen uit allerlei materialen zijn vervaardigd, zoals hout, ivoor, edelmetalen of geborduurd textiel. Waardevolle antependia werden om veiligheidsredenen soms boven aan het altaar geplaatst, waardoor hun functie veranderde in die van een retabel. De iconografie kan per antependium verschillen, maar het meest voorkomende thema is dat van de Maiestas Domini, omgeven door taferelen uit het Nieuwe Testament. Indien het voorhangsel rondom doorloopt, wordt het een paliotto genoemd.
西班牙語....	Paneles o colgaduras talladas, pintadas, bordadas o decoradas de alguna otra manera, que cubren el frente de un altar cristiano. Colgaduras para el frente de un altar, púlpito o atril de iglesia.
