The catacombs were third, a refuge the bishops, priests and faithful in times of persecution, and worship gatherings in times of trouble. - Therefore had to fossores Tombs, with the application of gears and production of new resting places to be considerate and so were more grave chambers, cubicles, a kind of bands that even at funerals served, but to hold you took advantage of the service, to catechesis, baptism, etc.. Although of different shapes and sizes but are usually rectangular and arched. You are in tuff cut by un blackish color. The door or the entrance towards the rear wall is a Arcosolium , the grave of a martyr: a casket built of bricks, above a marble or stone slab, which rest in his bones. - Such a grave was then the altar. Near the altar is the chair of the bishop, probably that of the lector. A simple rock or a hole in the wall is the Credenztisch intended to receive the offerings brought by the faithful, bread and Wine. Along the sides were the seats of the priests who served the bishop. - The chapel was illuminated by lamps hanging from the ceiling. - Usually two such cubicles or chapels on both sides of an aisle or a gallery, just opposite each other, created. The more determined was it for the bishop, priests and men, the gegenübeliegende smaller for women. A strictly religious customs demanded at the celebration of worship, a separation of both sexes. larger in the cubicle in the background were the bishop's seat, in front of it, the portable altar (altare portatile), on the side walls, the seats of the priests. This part of the Cubikulums was the presbytery. Separated from it were the men. In the opposite small cubicle is situated women were also divorced, in the back room were the deaconesses * (* The deaconesses are apostolic origin;.. Even the St. Paul mentions her you were in the age advanced virgins or widows, who were determined at Baptism and Confirmation assist her sex to visit the prisoners, to nurse the sick, to be held on the female in charge. They got to their office a special religious consecration.) in the front and the women. - Have the sacred mysteries celebrated, so the women could look through the two doors on the altar. Here's the plan in two Katakombenkapellen Cömeterium S. Agnetis.

In the gallery between the two doors were lying on the knees, the penitents. The two bands were 70 - take 80 people. In these chapels was hl. Victims celebrated, St. Kommunin donated to read the Gospel and explained, and psalms were sung. In order to feed the crowd of faithful present fresh air and a little light in the ceiling Luminaria , light or air holes have been attached, which, cut through the tufa, went into the open air and brought down. How necessary such a Luminar air hole, was evident from the fact that a lot of dead bodies lying in the walls, that a large number of lamps were burning and the bands were often filled by a lot of creditors, and therefore took the foul air of purification. (See figure below.)
There, I said, the Luminaria led into the open, where it ended at the earth's surface in a small about a foot or two tall chimney, then staggered them, Christians often at great risk. It was discovered by the location of their meetings, or even more, they served the nations to let go of their rage against the Christians. A terrible event tells us the Holy. Gregory of Tours. Crysanthus and Daria, two Christian spouses came from the East to Rome. Because they are active with all the zeal for the spread of Christianity, they were taken in different ways tortured and finally buried in a sand pit with earth and stones in 284th Their bodies were collected and the Cömeterium in which only three sons of St.. Felicitas, who died around the year 161 to his martyrdom, their resting place, had buried on the Via Salaria. - Their graves were revered by Christians and were very even with the nations famous for miraculous healings. - The number of pilgrims, the chapel was discovered where the two holy martyrs were buried, and the Christian Community had gathered to celebrate the sacred mysteries in the quiet night. The Prefect was on the orders of the emperor suddenly include prayer. The entrance to the tomb has been walled up and from above (by Luminar, air holes) rocks and sand thrown down at the gathering. Later, when the tomb was discovered there was not only the grave of the holy Chrysanthus and Daria, but also the bones of the gathered there been a Christian, and finally to celebrate the holy sacrifice-hand vessels.
Although here and there in the catacombs Luminaria "air and air holes" were warranted, but there was in the galleries and ramified in all directions in the chapels, especially at night, the greatest darkness. St. Jerome, which is about sixty years after the last persecution of Christians lived, writes:
"Since I was raised as a boy in Rome, visited me regularly every Sunday in the company of other boys my age and disposition, the tombs of the apostles and martyrs, and descended to the tombs which are carved in the bosom of the earth. In the walls on both sides of the transitions that you enter the bodies of the dead were buried and so dark, the whole place, that almost that word met the Prophet is: "Let them go down alive into the underworld." * (* Jerome in Ezek. 140)
order now in the dark corridors navigate and dispel the darkness to some extent, made use of the first Christians of the lamps made of terracotta or bronze, which they carried in their hands and sat down in the niches along the walls, if they the catacombs descended.
was found in the various cemeteries a very large number of lamps. They are shaped very beautiful and soon bear the monogram of Christ the Alpha and Omega, now the image of the fish or a dove, the prophet Jonas, etc. The greater cubicles or chapels were also often more Arcosolien with martyrs', on which the sacred Offering has been completed, nor was the number of cubicles a very large, to accommodate the number of those who sought refuge here in the pursuit, can. The Cömeterium S. Calisti had their own hundred. - From Saint Peter says the tradition that he has dubbed the Cömeterium Ostranum; *) (* This Cömeterium was discovered in 1876 again, there discovered paintings and Stuccaturarbeiten have a very great age, nor read it on an even no inscription deciphered the name "Peter".) it were thus faced with the baptismal font and catacombs "Baptist Rien," and really were found in several cemeteries such wells.
