Iconostasis: An icon screen or wall that separates
the sanctuary (behind the screen where the clergy celebrates the Holy
Mysteries) from the nave (the large area occupied by the faithful). A
doorway in the screen is used by the priest to move between the nave and
the sanctuary. Facing the door from the nave, an icon of Christ is on the
right and an icon of the Virgin and Child is on the left.
Basilica: A typical basilica is divided into several
sections: (1) the narthex or entrance area in which baptisms take place;
(2) the main part of the basilica, called the nave, for the accomodation
of a large number of worshippers; and (3) the holy place or sanctuary for
the celebration of the Holy Mysteries.
