Talk:Templon

message: Just wanted to move this here for now -- not sure where it should go (certainly not in the intro).
: The gate in the center is referred to as the Beautiful Gate and only members of the clergy may pass through it. In the Liturgical Theology of the Eastern Orthodox Church, it is understood that the beautiful gate symbolizes the womb of the Virgin Mary. There is a curtain that is drawn closed at certain times during the services especially during the preparation of communion during the Divine Liturgy. The doors on either side of the beautiful gate are called Angel Doors because the Archangels Michael and Gabriel are usually depicted there; alternatively, they are also called deacon’s doors because the deacons enter and leave through them.
Just out of curiosity, does anyone have any good public-domain or personal photos of a templon? I'll look, but I don't really expect to find any; I think the article would be much better with one. --The PNM 02:33, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: The obvious origin of the Templon is the Temple in Jerusalem in which the Holy of Holies resided and in which only the high priest could enter. Why this is not presented here amazes me.

replies: text: You'd know better than me -- I'd suggest adding it. The bit on the proskension as an origin of the templon is flakey anyway -- I only included it to show other opinions, but that comes from a VERY old article on the subject. But my understanding (once again, which could be very wrong) has been that the biggest reason for the name templon was that it looked a lot like a Greek pagan temple. But, I guess my point is, it's probably best to include that information. Okay. Thanks. --The PNM 07:19, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: Uh, am i just seeing things wrong here or has the so called 'preview' pic on the page been substituted by a prankster? It looks like somebody's behind, if you know what I mean ...)
I'm talking about "A pagan temple, in this case a recreation of the Parthenon in Nashville, Tennessee, the United States of America."

message: This article could use some referencing improvements. There are places that would be helped by having additions of cites, to satisfy verifiability for the reader. If not objected to by significant contributors to the article, I would be willing to identify some of these deficient locations in the article with  tags. However, it might be best to address in the form of WP:FAR, and give the article a more thorough overall review. -- Cirt (talk) 21:11, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  FA concerns 

message: I created a new section that lists some churches which are known to have retained their templon. Some have icons filling their openings, and are effectively iconostasis, but the original templon is obvious. Others have templon that are more modern reconstructions of either the original templon, or are designed in the style that would have been found there.
Rather than organize the section by location, I organized it by approximate century in which the church was built. I tried to provide links to the articles for each church whenever it was available. Some don't have Wikipedia articles, but I listed them anyway. --OrthoArchitectDU (talk) 00:42, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
