THE CHURCH IN ARCHITECTURE
A church in architecture is a building specifically dedicated to Christian worship.
The term derives from the Latin ecclesia, and from Greek (ekklesìa), i.e. the community as an effect of a meeting request.
In Catholicism, unlike the synagogues of the Jews (with the exception of the Temple in Jerusalem), the place of worship is also home of the deity, as happened in the Graeco-Roman religion.
This is because for Catholicism, although God is believed to be spiritually omnipresent, the Church contains within it the real presence of the body and blood of Christ, i.e. under the Eucharistic species.
The term ecclesia originally meant the community of people called by God, by the time the term derived from the "Church" has led to mean also where takes place the meeting of the community; Finally acquired this meaning in the physical sense.
