Descripción
Screens in Eastern Orthodox and Catholic churches that separate the sanctuary from the nave, usually pierced by three doors and, since the 14th or 15th century, covered with icons. The function of the iconostasis is modeled on the Temple in Jerusalem, where people other than the priests were separated from the holiest area.
