The confessional box dates to 1576 when Cardinal Charles Borromeo built the 1st wooden spaces to stop physical contact between confessor & penitent, ironically the box has a darker history allowing the reverse to happen: The Dark Boxes

Four black and white photographs arranged in a two-by-two grid show details of ornate wooden confessional booths inside a church. Top-left panel: A full view of a dark wooden confessional structure with three arched sections. The central door features a small grated window, while the side compartments are flanked by arched entryways. Top-right panel: A close-up, high-contrast shot focusing on a heavy fabric curtain partially obscuring an opening next to a detailed wooden carving of a robed figure. Bottom-left panel: An interior view of a confessional compartment flanked by two intricately carved wooden statues of angels with folded hands. A large white candle on a metal stand is visible on the right. Bottom-right panel: Another full view of a three-part wooden confessional box, showcasing decorative arched entryways on either side of a central panelled door with a curtained window.
