As we meet in the church with the world of the visible and the invisible, it is necessary to have boundary between these two worlds. However, this separation is only possible with the facts, which have dual possibilities of perception. And it is the iconostasis which is the boundary between the world of the visible and the invisible. This altar barrier divided two worlds, gives a vivid picture of understanding, indivisible Board of Saints which surrounds the throne of God. The iconostasis shows the Eucharist space.
