A stand on which is a bookrest. On the lectern usually rests a Bible and it is from the lectern that The Bible is read during church services. Sometimes lecterns are plain and simple - made from wood. Sometimes, however they can be very ornate. The usual form of lectern that is found in very old churches is a brass stand on which is mounted a large brass eagle and the Bible is placed on the eagle's back on its outstretched wings. This symbolises the message of the Bible flying to all corners of the world as the Word of God is proclaimed from the lectern.
