A pulpit is the term used to describe an elevated structure of stone or wood for a preacher or reader. In the Catholic religion, the pulpit is reserved for members of the clergy. The word pulpit comes from the Latin term, pulpitum (which means platform or staging).

They may be fitted with an acoustic canopy above and sometimes behind the preacher. Often made from wood, this canopy (referred to as a sounding board, tester or abat-voix) can help to provide an acoustic service by helping to project the speaker’s voice out to the audience.

Pulpits were initially incorporated into church buildings during the later Middle Ages. A stand known as an ambo was used in the early Middle Ages, up until roughly the 14th century.

Pulpits are sometimes elaborately carved. During the Italian Renaissance, pulpit reliefs were sometimes undertaken as commissions by important artists.
