The Baptistry in the Basilica Cathedral of the Sacred Heart
In keeping with Christian Tradition, the Baptistry in the Basilica Cathedral is located in a separate room which surrounds the baptismal font. The Baptismal Font is carved out of Botticino Marble and recalls Moses and the Saints who led other to a spiritual life including: John the Baptist, Justin, Anselm, Cyprian, Hillary, Clement of Alexandria and Peter Damian. The mosaic ceiling deviates from the Gothic Style and is a beautiful multicolored design. The windows show St. Peter baptizing on the first Pentecost, John Baptizing Jesus and other Baptizing scenes.
