Iconostasis (English spelling)

Japanese: イコノスタシス(英語表記)ikonostasis
Iconostasis (English spelling)
In Byzantine church architecture, this wall separates the altar from the pews. Since the 14th and 15th centuries, it has had one or three doors and was decorated with five to seven rows of wooden icons, hence the name. In the center, a deesis is depicted, and above it are icons of church festivals and prophets, and below that are icons of a bust of Christ, Mary, saints, and icons celebrating the donation of the church. Even today, they are found in Christian churches of Byzantine origin, such as Greek Orthodox churches.
