Table Jesus built~ Altar (could this also be the same table the office-in-charge at the flogging sat at?)

A friend of mine pointed out to me how Jesus sits upon the table he is building, making it an altar, and I had to kick myself for not noticing that. He also said that this scene has the one true joke in this painful story: when Jesus shows the Blessed Virgin the "altar," she quips "It'll never catch on."

But the table the Roman soldier has is smaller and more crudely built. Christ's table has some simple detailing done on the skirting; the soldier's table has no detailing.

Thanks for the clarification. I did not catch that when I saw the movie and have wondered every since.

I was told that the table ended up in Pilate's headquarters.

I saw a table about that size, but forgot to look for the open-work skirting.

I had seen someone else post about the altar and Jesus sitting in the middle of it to show the strength of the altar and the sacrifice (Jesus) would be on it.

I personally thought that the water that Jesus splahed on Mary as they came towards the camera was an indication of Baptism cleansing
