**"Household altar" refers to a family altar, a dedicated space, or a tradition of prayer and worship within a home. It may be a physical shrine with religious objects such as crosses, Bibles, and pictures, or it may be the customary practice of praying, reading, and devotional service daily as a family. The term has also been used to describe specific 19th-century books on daily family worship, such as those edited by John Harris or Robert Jamieso.
