Baptistery

"This church is not that big." "Since it's a baptistery."

This little dark church is formed of four small bays and was formerly the old baptistery.

The magnificent octagonal Baptistery is said to have been originally a Temple of Apollo, and the eight monolithic columns that support the modern cupola are of the Roman period.

For today, my father made arrangements with another minister – a friend of his who still had a real church building with a real baptistery.
