Holy Table vestments are a set of coverings used to decorate and adorn the altar table in Christian churches. These vestments are typically made from richly colored fabrics such as silk, brocade, or velvet, and may be embroidered or decorated with gold or other precious materials.

In the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Holy Table vestments typically consist of several layers. The top layer is a covering called the eileton or strachitsa, which is placed over the entire surface of the altar table. The eileton is usually adorned with embroidery or images of saints, and is held in place by several cords or ribbons.

Beneath the eileton, there may be additional layers of coverings, such as the aer or veil, which covers the chalice and paten during the liturgy. Other vestments, such as the epitaphios, may also be used to decorate the altar table during special services.

In the Western Christian tradition, the Holy Table vestments are generally simpler and less elaborate than those used in the Eastern Orthodox Church. They may consist of a single covering, such as a cloth of gold or a silk damask, and may be embroidered or adorned with decorative trim.

Regardless of the particular tradition, the Holy Table vestments are considered to be an important part of the liturgical furnishings in Christian churches, and are meant to enhance the beauty and solemnity of the worship space.
