Antependium, a Common card
An antependium, also known as a pulpit fall, parament or hanging, or, when speaking specifically of the hanging for the altar, an altar frontal, is a decorative piece, usually of textile, but also metalwork, stone or other material, that can adorn a Christian altar.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It may also apply to the ornamental bookmarks used on some lecterns.
- Antependium can also be used to describe the decorated front of the altar itself, especially if it is in an inflexible material such as wood, stone or metal.
- Specifically, and as the etymology of the word suggests, an antependium hangs down in front of whatever it covers, and is to be distinguished from the altar linens which are used in the service of the Eucharist, and an altar cloth which covers the top of the altar table.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Antependium article was read about 8,900 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 57 and blocks with 46: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
