Narthex (English spelling)
Architectural term. Also called the entrance hall. In church architecture, this is a large space between the main entrance and the main nave. It differs from a porch in that it is a space closed off from the outside air. Originally, non-believers were only allowed to enter up to this point, and could not participate in liturgies in the church.
