The dining hall of a monastery, where monks eat together in silence while listening to readings.
În mănăstiri, masa este o continuare a slujbei: începe și se încheie cu rugăciune, iar în timpul mesei un monah citește cu voce tare. Pelerinii sunt adesea invitați să mănânce la trapeză după Liturghie.
