Sanctuary
The sanctuary contains the altar and the space of liturgical service. This is an analogy of sacred space, not a claim that a Jewish furnishing became this altar.
Tradition note
Coptic Orthodox diocesan teaching example; not the layout of all Oriental churches.
Key points
- The source interprets the sanctuary as a sign of heavenly worship.
- Liturgical service area surrounding the altar
Scripture
- Hebrews 9:1-12 — Read the literary context. Later ecclesial reception is supplied by the named source, not established by the passage alone.
