Why is a 'Cathedral' really called a 'Chair'? #historyfacts #funfacts #interestingfacts
The Latin word for chair is cathedra…which forms our word for cathedrals.
This is because cathedrals are where the bishops have seats.
The Latin word cathedra, which is where we get the word cathdral from…is actually Latin for chair. So why is a cathedral which is a very big church run by a Bishop real name a chair. Why would you call a church…a chair…well, because cathedrals were run by Bishops, and a bishops church is where where his seat of power was. Quite literally, his chair, more like a throne was in his rather large church. And so the bishops church was refered to as a place where his chair was …his cathedra …which is why big church’s run by bishops are called Cathedrals!
Now that’s interesting
