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 />
