Keywords:

Abstract
Baptism and Holy Unction are two mile stones in the life of a Christian as by means of these sacraments he is accepted as a member of the Christian Church, and prepared for his transit to eternal life. Both require ceremonial observances of specific symbolical content and they call for an appropriate architectural scenery and a number of liturgical objects which not always have been duly analysed. Interest has mostly focused on gorgeous items used in various ceremonies, as well as on the ceremonies themselves. However, other fundamental elements have been left aside. These elements will be the target of our work related to the liturgical development of the rites.Downloads
