See General Description, lateral spaces. Together with the 'room of the statue' connected with it on the north, it seems to have served pilgrims who flocked in to venerate the statue of Christ. According to Philostorgius (Ecclesiastical History, Wilson 2008, pp. 205-6), the statue was placed in that part of the church which was allotted to the deacons, namely - the diakonikon, attracting many people to adorned it. |

The most unusual feature of the church is the presence of two crypts, which seems to predate the construction of the basilicas. The main one was originally a burial cave. It was comprised from a chamber with three arcosolia, accessed by a plastered staircase from the northern aisle (its eastern part). Remains of 50 adult skeletons, male and female alike, were uncovered therein. Brass pipes for pouring oil in poped down from the vaults of two arcosolia. Their upper ends were uncovered in the nave. Numerous oil lamps were uncovered in the crypt, the latest among them date to the 7th c. Sacred oil could be collected there by the worshipers. The second, western crypt, was an integral part of the church. A burial cave with mosaic paved chambers above, attributed to the second phase, were uncovered to the south of the narthex. Some of the skeletons uncovered therein were of children. |
