Lentorama 2013: There's a Name for That
Day 3: antependium
The antipendium is any cloth that hangs down the front of an altar, lectern or other stand/table. It can reach all the way to the floor or, in the case of an altar with a carved or painted front piece, it can just hang a few inches.
They can also be called paraments, or even just hangings. Which makes you wonder why they even bothered with the Latin name in the first place.
