Today’s Spanish word of the day is “iglesia”.
It’s a feminine noun meaning “church”. Like the English word “church”, it can be used to refer both to a physical building as well as the institution of the church.
The word “iglesia” comes from Greek ekklēsía meaning “assembly”, from which we also get the English word “ecclesiastical”.
