In the Greek Orthodox Church, a Gospel Stand (often ornate and made of wood or metal) is used to hold and display the Gospel Book during services.
- It typically sits on the Holy Altar table or is placed in the center of the church during certain feast days or processions.
- The Gospel Book contains the four Gospels of the New Testament and is treated with great reverence.
- During the Divine Liturgy, the deacon or priest reads the Gospel reading from it while it rests on the stand.
- On special occasions (like feasts of Christ), the Gospel is carried in procession, and the stand is used to elevate and honor it once the procession is complete.
- It symbolizes the presence of Christ among the people, as the Gospels are the Word of God.
- The Gospel Stand helps create a visible and respectful place for this sacred book.
