What is a "pulpit"?
A pulpit is a raised platform or stand in a church from which a minister or speaker delivers sermons or readings. It is usually located in a prominent position, often at the front of the nave, to ensure that the speaker is visible to the congregation. The pulpit may be elaborately designed and often features decorative elements that reflect the church's overall style. This architectural feature serves both a functional and symbolic purpose, emphasizing the importance of the spoken word in worship and allowing for effective communication during services.
