What part of the cathedral is the nave?
This is usually the largest part of the cathedral where the congregation sits, so called from the Latin Navus meaning ‘boat’ because it looks like an upturned boat. The nave is behind the choir (where the choir sits) which is itself behind the Chancel (where the clergy sit and where the furniture like lectern is situated, which is in turn behind the sanctuary (the site of the communion table or ‘altar’).
