<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">church table</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(ceremonial table in a church)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for altar that I've seen before include "Sacrificial block" , "Ceremonial table for religious event" , "location for union negotiation" , "Table for sacrifice" , "Sacrificial slab" .)
