Descripción
Refers to distinctive chambers in temples or churches. In ancient temples, the chambers were the apartments of the "pastophori," who were an order of priests who carried the shrines of the gods in procession. According to tradition, the Temple of Jerusalem also had such chambers, thus the term is applied to apartments that imitate these chambers and are typically located on either side of the bema in ancient churches or modern Greek Orthodox churches.
