The main altar was made by Silvester Wöber from Tannheim.
It is on the main altar that Hebrew writing can be found.
When we look closer at the Hebrew writing then we can
see that the first and the third characters (from the right
side) are the same. The same applies for the second and fourth
characters. What is written is not 'JHWH' but 'VHVH'. Sometimes
this form was used to denote 'the Name' rather than God's
name. The effect is to refer to God's name without actually
saying it. Of course, it is also possible that the authors
are practising some artistic license and that they did indeed
intend to write God's name.
