GENERAL INSTRUCTION OF THE ROMAN MISSAL 300. An altar whether fixed or movable is dedicated according to the rite prescribed in the Roman Pontifical; but it is permissible for a movable altar simply to be blessed. 301.

In order not to distract the attention of the faithful from the new altar, the old altar should not be decorated in any special way. 304. Out of reverence for the celebration of the memorial of the Lord and for the banquet in which the Body of Blood of the Lord are offered on an altar where this memorial is celebrated, there should be at least one white cloth, its shape, size, and decoration in keeping with the altar’s design. 305.
