● The 2nd floor is called or known as the Choir Loft.

● Small room on the front right side = private confession room
● Insignia on the entrance floor = HTA Logo, Hand of Father, 2 smiley faces = fish (secret
communication between Christians), Holy Spirit.

Baptistry - Has 2 elements

Liturgical Calendar - Why? It is based on the Paschal Mystery (Passion, Death, and
Resurrection of Christ) or based on Christ’s life.
Gregorian Calendar - 12 months/365 or 366 days
Paschal Mystery - Passover* *tradition and festival of Jews, came from Israelites
Israelites = Book of Exodus contains the story of how Israelites fled Egypt. Moses saved
them by the command of God.
New Testament = Jesus’ last day is the festival of Passover.
Connection ↴
Old Testament = God saved the Israelites | New Testament = Jesus saved the people from sin.
“Do this in memory of me.” As Christians, we pass this tradition to the next generation as our
duty.
