Descri­zio­ne del progetto

The assem­bly and ben­ches of con­ce­le­bran­ts sur­round the altar, remin­ding us of ancient paleo-Chri­­stian pain­tings, whe­re Chri­st and the apo­stles enjoy the last sup­per around a table. This arran­ge­ment helps us under­stand the acti­ve par­ti­ci­pa­tion of living sto­nes in the cele­bra­tion. 4 rivers. I crea­ted the altar so that its desi­gn mee­ts the­se two dimen­sions: the weight of the sacri­fi­cial altar; and the table for­mat of the Eucha­ri­st. I used the man­ger as inspi­ra­tion for the dra­wing so we sym­bo­li­cal­ly lin­ked the begin­ning of Jesus’ life (the nati­vi­ty) with his passion.
Around the pre­sby­te­ry we have the ambu­la­to­ry desi­gn and two cha­pels: The Bap­ti­sm Cha­pel, and the cha­pel of the patron saint of Bra­zil; Our Lady of Aparecida.
The stai­ned glass win­do­ws that sur­round the enti­re church were desi­gned to repre­sent the waters of two rivers. The Xin­gu River that cros­ses the ter­ri­to­rial spa­ce of the city of Gaú­cha do Nor­te, and the waters of Para­í­ba whe­re the patron saint Nos­sa Sen­ho­ra Apa­re­ci­da was fished.
The church in the sha­pe of a Greek cross has at its 4 ends: 3 entran­ces with 3 atriums. On the main axis, we have the cha­pel of the most holy, which in the pain­ting respec­ts the trai­ts of the indi­ge­nous eth­ni­ci­ties of the Xin­gu reser­ve, and the main entran­ce, and on the other axis, we have the tree of life sym­bo­li­zing Ter­tu­lia­no’s phra­se (The blood of the mar­tyrs is the seed of new Chri­stians). At the other end, the Meno­rah sym­bo­li­zes the 7 gif­ts of the Holy Spi­rit and on it the dove of Pen­te­co­st. This cross divi­des the buil­ding into 4 wings. Repre­sen­ting the 4 evan­ge­lists, each wing sees bibli­cal pas­sa­ges tel­ling accoun­ts of the life of Jesus descri­bed by each evangelist.
Insi­de the cross we have the roof struc­tu­re with a woo­den struc­tu­re repre­sen­ting the regio­nal, the pro­du­cers of Gaú­cha do Nor­te, this tan­gle of woo­den pie­ces repre­sent the rich flo­ra of the sta­te of Mato Grosso.
