What is the church nave?

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

In a church, the nave is the central and principal part of the building, primarily designed to accommodate the congregation. It is the main body of the church, extending from the entrance to the transepts or the chancel. The nave is where worshippers typically sit, and it’s often characterized by long rows of pews or chairs. The term “nave” is derived from the Latin word “navis,” meaning “ship,” which is fitting given the nave’s long, narrow shape.

Ascension of Jesus May 29

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

On May 29, Christians celebrate Jesus’ Ascension into heaven as a pivotal moment in the Christian faith. Occurring 40 days after Easter, the Ascension marks Christ’s return to God the Father, completing His earthly ministry. We view this event as a sign of Jesus’ divine nature and a promise of His continual presence through the Holy Spirit. It affirms hope in eternal life and encourages faithful witness in the world, honoring Christ as Lord of all creation.
