The altar is made in the original technique using gold and titanium, symbolizing one of the twelve stars in the crown of the Queen of the World. On October 10, 2012, the altar was consecrated by Pope Benedict XVI. Along with traditional Christian motifs (the image of Jesus Christ and the cross), kazakh national ornament was used in its design. The altar was created by the Polish master Mariusz Drapikovski as part of a cycle of 12 altars, the first of which stands on the Way of the Cross in Jerusalem, and the rest are installed in Catholic shrines around the world.
