Chapel, Frescoes III - Christ's life

In addition to paintings based on the life of St.Aloysius, the chapel also pictures the life of Jesus Christ. These pictures include the birth, baptism etc. of Jesus Christ till His crusifixion. Most of these paintings include appropriate quotes from the bible.

This painting shows the birth of Jesus Christ in a manger, in Bethlahem. The artist has created here, the effect of an illumination that seems to originate from the new born baby, Jesus Christ. The birth of Jesus Christ is celebrated throughout the world as 'Christmas Day' every year on 25'th of December.

The Baptism Of JesusJesus Christ was baptised by John, 'The Baptist' on the bank of the river Jordan. Notice the dove flying down towards Jesus Christ who is kneeling down. It is believed that the heavens opened and the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus Christ, during his baptism in form of the dove.

"As soon as Jesus came up out of the water, he saw heaven opening and the Spirit coming down on him like a dov. And a voice came from heaven," You are my own dear Son. I am pleased with you." Mark 1,9 -11

This painting shows Jesus Christ preaching to all the people who used to gather around him and listen.
