Book Description
Excerpt from Cathedrals and Abbeys of Great Britain and Ireland: With Descriptive Text The nave (navis, a ship) was symbolically the ship of Christ on the waves of earthly existence. It was also called the body, as the apse (chevet) was the head, and the transepts the arms of the cross. Older writers denominated the east end the front, at which point erection was commenced, and from thence continued westward. All who came to pray were welcomed to the church, and might worship at the reed or other low altars at their convenience or choice.
