The Fiali: With this sculptural-architectural element, the holy sacrament of baptism is symbolized, the visitation of the Holy Spirit, the symbol of new life. Besides, monastic life is essentially a new life offered exclusively to God. In terms of shape, the fiali resembles a small area for baptizing (a baptistery). Its dome is painted on the inside with images of the holy sacrament of the baptism of Jesus Christ and other events from the Old Testament related to baptism, the prophetic announcements of this holy sacrament, and the reception of the Holy Spirit, as it is expressed in the scriptures.
