Sacristia. Compara<strong>da</strong> a<br />
outras sacristias, a <strong>da</strong> Catedral<br />
Basílica é grandiosa no<br />
tamanho e de extrema<br />
sobrie<strong>da</strong>de na decoração.<br />
Possui três altares de mármores<br />
multicoloridos, de origem<br />
italiana e influência<br />
renascentista, apesar dos<br />
frontões barrocos partidos.<br />
Observam-se nos altares<br />
imagens barrocas do século<br />
XVIII, de grande porte, que<br />
contrastam com a sobrie<strong>da</strong>de<br />
dos mármores, especialmente a<br />
de Nossa Senhora <strong>da</strong> Fé, logo à<br />
entra<strong>da</strong>. No lado oposto, outro<br />
altar abriga o tradicional Cristo<br />
Crucificado barroco que,<br />
possivelmente, esteve no<br />
altar-mor <strong>da</strong> igreja no<br />
setecentos. Do lado <strong>da</strong>s janelas<br />
há um lavabo que se coaduna<br />
com o conjunto renascentista<br />
dos altares, confeccionado com<br />
as mesmas pedras. Tem a<br />
“marca” jesuítica: IHS.<br />
Um grande arcaz 9 de<br />
jacarandá, dividido em duas<br />
partes, toma to<strong>da</strong> a parede que<br />
separa a sacristia <strong>da</strong> igreja. O<br />
móvel é ornamentado com<br />
lavores confeccionados com<br />
casco de tartaruga e marfim,<br />
desgastados pelo tempo. Todo<br />
Sacristy. When compared<br />
to other sacristies, the one at<br />
the Basilica Cathedral is both<br />
grand in its proportions and<br />
extremely sober in its<br />
decoration. It has three altars<br />
in multicolored marble from<br />
Italy, noticeably Renaissant,<br />
in spite of the Baroque<br />
pediments. These altars hold<br />
large Baroque images from<br />
the 18 th century, contrasting<br />
with the sobriety of marble,<br />
particularly the Our Lady of<br />
Faith at the entrance. On the<br />
opposite side, another altar<br />
holds the traditional Baroque<br />
Christ Crucified that was<br />
possibly in the main altar of<br />
the church from the 1700s.<br />
By the windows, there is a<br />
lavabo that merges in with<br />
the Renaissant altar<br />
ensemble, made of the same<br />
stones. It features the Jesuit<br />
“mark”: IHS.<br />
A great jacaran<strong>da</strong> chest 9 ,<br />
divided in two, takes up the<br />
whole wall separating the<br />
sacristy from the church. This<br />
piece of furniture is<br />
ornamented with carvings<br />
made of time-worn tortoise<br />
shells and ivory. The whole<br />
ensemble probably <strong>da</strong>tes from<br />
9. No século XVIII, chamava-se caixão. 9. In the 18 th century, they were called boxes.<br />
