| bema:
In the strictest sense, refers to raised platforms from
which an orator or priest addresses an assembly. In a
more general sense, the term is used to refer to the apse
or chancel of a basilica. It is usually used in the context
of ancient or Early Christian basilicas or meeting places,
synagogues, or Eastern Orthodox churches. ©1999 The J.
