This picture is of the Church Choir. The deacon co-ordinates the choir, and has a crucial role in the church service. The choir is made up of members of the Church congregation. The Choir represents angels, as they sing harmoniously and show that they are with the community throughout life.

The Church service was tradtitionally 6 hours long, however this was shortened after it was deemed to be too long. However, the church still includes everything into the service. The Priest is assisted by a Sargavag (deacon), whose main role is to assist the celebrant.

The Alter is the highest part Church. this is because it represents Mount Sinai, where Moses received the Ten Commandments. The altar represents that we are getting closer to God. The altar is so sacred that the priests has to take his shoes off.
