They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for social events, religious holidays and collective decisions. In the Great East, a region marked by a strong Christian tradition, these buildings often reflected the parish organization and cultural practices of the surrounding populations, without specifying local particularities here in the absence of detailed sources.
