	Mount Nebo, Jordan
		In August 531 AD a Diaconicon Baptistery was built to the north of the courtyard against one of the funeral chapels.
		After the funeral chapel and the Diaconicon Baptistery were dismantled, the floor was adjusted to level with the rest of the basilica, making a single large chapel divided by stairs and railing into two separate rooms.
		Perhaps during the same period in which the Diaconicon was altered and embellished, the ancient funeral chapel was destroyed, and a new room, replete with mosaics, was built instead.

	Chapel
		This ceremony, at first performed at the altar itself, was in some rites (notably the Byzantine) elaborated into a preliminary offering at a subsidiary altar or "table of prothesis", the prepared oblations being solemnly conveyed to the main altar in the course of the actual liturgy.
		The northern apse or chapel became the place of prothesis, and the other remained a sacristy or diaconicon.
		Although the architectural feature of parallel apses was early introduced into the West, they had no effect upon the rite in places where the Roman Liturgy was in use, but remained at first mere sacristies.

		A chiseled inscription in the pediment of the west portal reveals the time of construction and the founder: the year is 1252, and the founder Stefan, son of Duke Vukan and grandson to Stefan Nemanja.
		Subsequently to construction works, Stefan ensured the fresco decoration; unfortunately, we cannot have any reliable opinion about the result as a whole, since only a fragment has survived in the diaconicon.
