Reading notes
- During Holy Week §8 the side-chapel of the Great Martyr Barbara
A side-chapel of the parish church dedicated to St. Barbara, an early Christian martyr; larger Orthodox churches commonly held several such side-altars, each usable for services on its own saint's day, and this one furnishes the physical space -- by the screen near the columns -- where the confession queue forms.
