A » In church architecture, a narthex is the entrance or lobby area, located at the west end of the nave. Traditionally, it serves as a gathering space for worshippers before entering the main sanctuary and is often separated from the nave by a distinct architectural feature, such as columns or a wall. The narthex can signify the transition from the secular world to the sacred space within the church.
