A church or temple sanctuary is the consecrated area around its tabernacle or altar. Christian churches were sometimes built on land and that place was considered as a particularly ‘holy spot’. There are churches that are known in their interior designs, aside from being sacred. The Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome and Saint Albans Cathedral in England, which commemorate the martyrdom of Saint Peter, and Saint Alban, are the well-known places where a miracle or martyrdom had taken place or where a holy person was buried respectively.

You can layer the walls with stucco or covered by plaster, marked off while still wet by Italian artisans to create the illusion of limestone block construction. The color of interior church was the same as limestone color. One of the tips in designing the interior church sanctuary is the chancel window, upon entering the sanctuary it is the first thing that will meet their eye. Its expanse extends behind the chancel from ceiling to floor and from side to side catching a radiant morning sun gleaming through myriad of crystal colorings and sparkling gems.
The brilliant colors excite varied aspects of the spirit: white for purity, green for life, blue for infinitude, yellows for zest and labor, grays for difficulties, purple for loyalty and royalty, red for sacrifice. The huge area of red is central to the whole – at the center of all life stands the sacrificial love of God in Christ.
