Latin term or phrase: antependia en este texto en ingles

In the course of time Alpha and Omega ceased to be used as the monogram of Christ for church paintings and ornaments. During the last centuries the letters I.H.S. (see ABBREVIATIONS, ECCLESIASTICAL) have completely taken their place. Recently, however, on tabernacle doors and antependia the older device is again met with.

antipendios

Explanation:
seems to be the correct form:

"En un primer momento, pueden observarse en frontales o antipendios (ya sea en los laterales del altar o reverso de los frontales o antipendios)."

"Cuenta con más de noventa edificios que en todo o en parte tienen elementos románicos, y su Museo Episcopal es el segundo del país en importancia por sus colecciones de pintura mural y en especial de pintura sobre tabla a antipendios de altar, imágenes, aras, arquillas, capiteles, etc."

see also "antipendio. (Del b. lat. antependium).
1. m. Velo o tapiz de tela preciosa que tapa los soportes y la parte delantera de algunos altares entre la mesa y el suelo.
2. m. frontal (ǁ para cubrir la parte delantera del altar)."
