Balcony

Works in the balcony are continuing.

The balcony in the Orthodox Church had various uses in the past.

During the Byzantine years that was the place where women should stand. That was only for social, not for theological, reasons.

Later on the choirs and the Sunday School had used this area.

Today it is just an extra place for any member of the congregation.
