Irenaeus Dunlevy, O.P. | January 10, 2020 | † Featured Series ,  Christmas ,  The Sights and Sounds of Christmas View Larger Image The Sights and Sounds of Christmas : The Baptistery of San Giovanni  in Florence , c. 1059-1128 The Baptistery of San Giovanni in Florence rises before the great dome of Brunelleschi and the front doors of the cathedral. This structure, separate from the  Duomo , envelops the place where God tears open the heavens for the soul who receives the graces of baptism.  The Florentines constructed the Romanesque structure in the eleventh and twelfth centuries during an economic boom. The people—enjoying temporal benefits from God—gave thanks by means of ordered geometry, carved stone, and gilded mosaics. Guided by faith, human hands lifted up this baptistery as an invitation for the Lord to come down and reign

In celebrating the centenary of the consecration and dedication to God of the Cathedral of Saints Mary and Joseph, we are in a sense celebrating the 100th anniversary of our cathedral’s “baptism”. At our own baptism we are anointed with sacred chrism and thereby consecrated or set apart for the glory of God
