Where would you usually find an altar?
In ancient Rome altars were all over the place. Besides the obvious ones in the temples, there were many shrines with a small altar scattered around the city. The roads also had many shrines and altars, some at crossroads others simply at roadside. Many people dedicated an altar to a god as a fulfillment of a vow if they received the god's blessing. The military camps and forts all had their shrines and altars.

How important is the altar to Christians?
Speaking only for myself the altar in a church represents a holy place of prayer where one can kneel in the presence of God and pray. This makes it a very important place to me. Unfortunately I have found that the altar these days is not used as frequently as it should be by Christians. This is probably due to the fear of embarassment and what others may think if they see you praying at the altar. I believe that on any given Sunday at any Christian church every member should be on their knees at the altar. If for no other reason than to thank God for his loving mercy on the sinful lot of us. Every Christian should find time for the altar and place great importance in it. Hope this helps and hope to see you at the altar one day!

Which prophet was slain between the temple and the altar?
Alters are usually found WITHIN temples. This makes the question a bit odd. However, the bible does say that the prophet Zechariah was killed between the temple and the alter. Other Jewish scripts say that he was killed IN the Temple which would make more sense.AnswerThe altar was in the Temple courtyard, and the Temple building was separate from the altar, so it isn't odd at all.
