Pulpits

Pulpits are elevated platforms used for speeches or preaching in religious settings, such as churches, synagogues and mosques. They are usually placed at the front of the worship space, and are used by the speaker or preacher to be easily seen and heard by the congregation. Lecterns can be made from various materials, including wood, metal or stone, and can be decorated with decorative and symbolic elements. Some lecterns also include microphones and sound equipment to amplify the speaker's voice. Lecterns are also used in other contexts, such as in conference halls, theaters and other public settings where it is necessary for someone to speak to a large group of people.
