What if you went to one of these jurisdictions traditionalist home chapels and saw a manorah(jewish candle stand) behind the iconastas to the right of the altar, on a mantle with an Icon of christ in front of it..It might be o.k., Maybe im an idiot, but it seemed very awkward and maybe heretical, that this manorah,Jewish symbol would be behind the iconastas in the altar area..............please tell me its o.k.

forgive me, I was asking a question and thought it would be a waste to start another tread on such a connected topic, its connected to my visit of a couple of missions and home chapels - Florinites,Matthewites,ROCIE,HOCNA,ROAC,unfortunately i saw this with my own eyes..

There is a 7-branch candelabra behind the Holy Table in churches. Is this maybe what you saw?

There is a difference between the "menorah" of the Jews and the Chandelier which use the Holy Church, because that of the Jews use has all the candles in the same level and that Chandelier use for our Holy Church is staggered (the candle of the center is mor higher, both next more lowers and so forth) See picture up
