The Iconostasis and the Deisis
The Iconostasis
is the most prominent feature of an Orthodox Church. It separates the Sanctuary from the nave. The
Sanctuary is where the Eucharist is celebrated, which symbolizes the Divine world. The nave is the
part reserved for the believers and symbolizes the human world. Visit the
Iconostasis Page for a more
detailed explanation of "Iconostasis" and "Deisis".
