What part of the Cathedral included the altar and choir?
The part of the cathedral that includes the altar and choir is typically known as the chancel. This area is situated at the eastern end of the cathedral and is often elevated, emphasizing its sacred function. The chancel serves as a space for worship, where the clergy perform rituals and the choir participates in liturgical music. It is distinct from the nave, which is the main body of the church meant for the congregation.
Why were ambulatories popular in pilgrimage churches?
People visiting pilgrimage churches often wanted to walk around the church and observe the architecture. After walking down one side aisle, they would walk in front of the altar to amble down the other side aisle. Oftentimes this was disruptive to an ongoing church service. Ambulatories provide a pathway around the back of the altar for visitors to walk across covertly. Pilgrimage churches usually implemented this design to accommodated the large influx of people they anticipated would be walking through the church.

What is the thing you walk down at a wedding?
The walkway between pews in a church is called an aisle. The wedding party and bride walk down the aisle to the front of the church. (The groom can enter from any door. He does not walk down the aisle in a formal procession, but waits at the altar for his bride.) However, other weddings not in church do not use a structural "aisle". They might place a "runner", often made of satin, across a lawn to create an "aisle" between chairs for seating.

Which cathedral does not have its altar at the east end?
St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City is notable for not having its altar at the traditional east end. Instead, its main altar is located beneath Michelangelo's dome, facing west towards the entrance. This unique orientation is a result of the basilica's design and historical context, making it distinct among major cathedrals.
