The magnificent mosaics of the sanctuary arch of S. Maria Maggiore in #Rome. Dating to the 5th c., they depict scenes from the birth and infancy of Jesus, both canonical and apocryphal.

In this 4th c. marble epitaph from #Aquileia, the #HolySpirit appears as a dove in a circle of stars from which the waters of baptism flow onto a figure standing in a baptismal font.
The Latin inscription reads: "To an innocent spirit whom the Lord chose. The faithful one rests in peace. 10 days before the kalends of September."

31 followers · 632 posts · Server zirk.usWe read and discussed Basil of Caesarea's homily "To the Rich" today in my #EarlyChristianity class. It offers a rather radical vision of economic justice and distribution of wealth, together with a bold and biting criticism of the lifestyle + mentality of the Roman aristocracy

Thomas bows before Christ as he shows the wound in his side (armpit?). The other apostles gesture in acclamation.

Detail of the "Sarcophagus of the Resurrection" (4th c., Vatican Museums). It shows the resurrection of Christ represented by a cross topped by a Chi-Rho encircled by a wreath. Two Roman soldiers sit on either side.

I'll be working with one of our Masters students on a thesis on penance in #EarlyChristianity. What are some classic and recent studies that are most useful?
