The Cubicle of the Sacraments
Early 3rd century
Catacombs of Saint Calixtus
This is the back wall
of
the cubicle. Above, the figure framed by the two doves is
Jonah.
Directly below, in the center of this photo, is a Eucharistic
banquet.
To the left of the banquet, a priest extends his hands in a symbolic
epiclesis
while a worshipper stands in the orant posture.
To the right of
the
banquet is a scene with the sacrifice of Abraham.
The figures on
the far right and far left carry shovels and wear white tunics.
Also available:
close-ups
of the Eucharistic banquet and
the epiclesis.
