What is a "crossing"?
In architecture, a crossing is the area in a church where the nave, the main part of the church, intersects with the transept, the side part that crosses the nave. This intersection often forms a large, open space that is sometimes covered by a dome or tower. The crossing is an important architectural feature in many large churches and cathedrals, as it often serves as a focal point and adds to the overall grandeur of the building.
