Early Christians faced east at prayer, a practice witnessed to by Clement of Alexandria built with an east-west axis. In the earliest churches in Rome the hand carved altar stood at the west end and the priest stood at the western side of the religious altar facing east and facing the people and the doors of the church. Examples are the Constantinian St. Peter’s Basilica and the original Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls. In the East, early churches had the altar at the east end and the priest, facing east, stood at the western side of the altar, with his back to the people and the doors

Why is Stone (Marble) best material to made of church altar?

Since wood is subject to decay, the baser metals to corrosion, and the more precious metals were too expensive, stone became in course of time the ordinary material for an altar table. The earliest decree of a council prescribing that an altar table which is to be consecrated should be of stone is that of the provincial council of Epeaune France, in 517.
