Portable altar in red painted oak wood. The inside of the lid has a religious painting of Christ on the cross and three liturgical texts for the celebration of Mass services. According to tradition, this altar went with Vasco da Gama on board the ship San Gabriel on the maiden voyage to India in 1497. Although its wood dates from that period, there is no documentary evidence to support this. However it is very similar to the portable altars used in religious services onboard Portuguese Indiamen.
Donated by Captain Guilherme Alpoim Calvão.
By the time Vasco da Gama returned from his first voyage to India in 1499, he had spent more than two years away from home, including 300 days at sea, and had traveled some 24,000 miles. Only 54 of his original crew of 170 men returned with him. The majority , including his brother Paolo, had died. It was these prayers, silently whispered for those who did not return to Portugal.
JOHN 1:1
The first verse of John establishes several important facts, and introduces an important term. Jesus is referred to as "The Word," from the Greek word logos. Christ is the Logos, the definition, the meaning, the "Word" of God. This is the first of John's seven names for Jesus: "The Word." The rest of the gospel is John's attempt to prove this through various forms of evidence, in particular Jesus' miracles. The first eighteen verses of John counter many false beliefs about God. Verse 1 establishes that the universe had a beginning, contrary to the idea that it is eternal. It also states that God has existed (at least) from that beginning. Later verses will show that God, in fact, created all that exists. This verse also makes it very clear that this Logos, Jesus, is identical to the Creator: the Word was God. This begins to establish the concept of the Trinity, where God is one being in three distinct persons.

MATTHEW 26:28
The Passover meal was observed by nearly every Jewish person as a way of remembering and celebrating God's rescue of Israel through the blood of the lamb on their doorposts (Exodus 12:7, 14). Now Jesus is using the elements of the Passover meal to introduce something new. He has broken bread and distributed it to them, describing it as His body (Matthew 26:26). He has given them the third cup of wine included in the meal, the "cup of blessing," and commanded them to drink it. He now describes that cup of wine as "my blood of the covenant."
Jesus' words have a connection to a powerful moment between God and the people of Israel during the time of Moses (Exodus 24:1–8). The blood of animal sacrifices was used to seal an agreement between God and the people. God promised to take care of them, and the people promised to be obedient to all God told them. Then came this: "Moses took the blood and threw it on the people and said, 'Behold the blood of the covenant that the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words'" (Exodus 24:8).
The disciples, then, would have grown up knowing that a covenant between God and His people was sealed with the blood of a sacrifice. Now Jesus has described the wine they are drinking as His blood of the covenant. He says that it is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Jesus is describing a new agreement - a formal promise - between God and many people. This time, though, the covenant will not be for Israel alone. It will be for all people who come to God through faith in Jesus. Jesus' blood will be poured out to pay the price for the sin of all who trust in Him. His blood will seal the agreement God is making to forgive the sins of these Christ-followers or "Christians," taking Jesus' death as the payment for their sin.
The moment is very close now when Jesus' body will be abused, and His blood poured out on the cross. That is the moment Jesus' followers will remember with humble gratitude when they break the bread and drink from the cup together (Luke 22:19). It will come to be known as communion or the Lord's Supper. Paul will describe it this way in 1 Corinthians 11:26, "For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes."

May the tribute of my humble ministry be pleasing to Thee, Holy Trinity. Grant that the sacrifice which I, unworthy as I am, have offered in the presence of Thy majesty may be acceptable to Thee. Through Thy mercy may it bring forgiveness to me and to all for whom I have offered it: through Christ our Lord. Amen.
