Using light as fil rouge reuniting theology and ritual with the
architecture, decoration, and iconography of cultic spaces, the
present study argues that the mise-en-scene of fifth-century
baptism and sixth-century episcopal liturgy was meant to reproduce
the luminous atmosphere of heaven. Analysing the material culture
of the two sacraments against common ritual expectations and
Christian theology, we evince the manner in which the luminous
effect was reached through a combination of constructive techniques
and perceptual manipulation. One nocturnal and one diurnal, the two
ceremonials represented different scenarios, testifying to the
capacity of church builders and willingness of Late Antique bishops
to stage the ritual experience in order to offer God to the senses.
