Following the model of medieval winged altars, it consists of a corpus with two movable wing parts - in this case made of cast glass. The three parts represent the earth, the underworld and heaven, with the center being formed by the suffering Christ on the cross.

Växjö Cathedral, lots of glass art and somehow Nordic, unexciting, simple and very beautiful. Worth a visit 🤙

The altar was created by Jan Brazda in 1959. The altar carpet depicts the earth and dates from 1995. The altarpiece was created by Bertil Vallien in 2002. It depicts the cross and, to the right and left, the twelve apostles in the form of faces. The choir window behind the altar symbolizes heaven in yellow and blue.
