A "parekklesion" is the Greek word for a chapel. The Church in the Chora Monastery in Istanbul (Turkey) had a chapel, or burial chapel, where members of the Imperial Family were buried. The church itself contains some of the best preserved mosaics of that period. The Parekklesion however contains frescoes of scenes of the Old Testament.

The Chora Church is one of the most beautiful examples in existence of the Middle Byzantine Period (843-1204).

Is the Roman Catholic Church part of the Western Church?

Yes, both the Roman Catholics and the Protestant groups form what is known as the Western Church. This includes the Eastern Rites within the Catholic Church, as they owe their allegiance to the Pope in Rome (ie. the West). Similarly, there are many Western Rites within the Eastern Orthodox Church, but these are still part of the Eastern Church, as they owe their allegiance to an Orthodox Patriarch (ie. the East).

When is Jesus returning for his church?

Jesus wont come for the church.. church is made by people not from Jesus, we should believe in Jesus not in church...... ANSWER: The church is the body of Christ made up of all New Testament believers. This is Scriptural (Colossians 1:18). We do not know when Christ will come for the church (body of believers). It will happen at the resurrection of the just, but we do not know when that will occur, ie, day, date or hour.
