Cypress is a term of particular use in the religious architecture of Mexico and that refers to a kind of baldachin or tribune that is part of the main altar of cathedrals or churches.
Background edit
Supported by columns and formed by one or two bodies, it generally has a cupuliform finish and usually contains inside the titular image of said temples.[citation needed]
It differs from the altarpiece in that it is attached to a wall, while the cypress is a three-dimensional building built in a free-standing manner, even reaching the center of the cruise of the temples. Therefore, it comes to have more than one altar attached to it, oriented in each of its cardinal points.[citation needed]
The use of the term derives from the one built in the Cathedral of Mexico by Jerónimo de Balbás and which received that name due to its shape and having been built entirely of wood.[citation needed]
Currently, among the examples of cypresses are those of the Morelia cathedral, the Cathedral of Puebla and the Chapel of the Rosary (Puebla) of the latter city.[citation needed]
