FORGOTTEN CATECHETICS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW
AS ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS WHILE ATTENDING CHURCH
Prepared By the V. Rev. Alexander Kile from the teachings of the Orthodox Faith
THE NARTHEX (Narthicas)
The First part of the Church where a few icons stand.
The Pangari, the furniture from where we purchase the candles, is also located here.
Always on the right of the Narthex stands the icon of the Virgin Mary and to the left the Patron Saint of the church. Also on the right, is the stand holding the icon of the feast of the day, and on Sundays, the icon depicting the Gospel, which is put there during the matins service.
