Chapel & cathedral
What's the different between them between the two? Thank you very much.
Top answer
A chapel is a small place of worship, often incorporated within another building, such as a hospital, funeral home, or even another church itself. Technically, a cathedral is a Roman Catholic (or other "catholic" denomination) that houses the throne ( cathedra ) of the bishop of a particular region. It does not have to be in the Gothic tradition, but in Europe and the Americas, that is often the tradition.
