Welcome to the Cathedral of Silves in Algarve
in southern Portugal
Silves
Silves was once the capital of Algarve
Here was once bitter fights with the Mores
I will show you an inscription above the baptistery
It is a quotation from the Acts of the Apostles
Chapter 22, verse 16
Et nunc quid moraris! And why are you delaying?
Exurge contains an error. It should be
Exsurge. "E" "x" "s"
It should be "Exsurge" in the inscription
et baptizare et "and baptise and"
"and baptise and wash your sins"
Exsurge actually means
"rise up"
and the context is that Ananias
is speaking to Paul
it is the 2nd person singular
is searching Paul who to this very moment
has been persecuting Christians
you must get baptised and
"quid moraris?" "why are you delaying?"
has been interpreted quite literally here
why are you delaying here?
by baptising children in Christendom
Quid moraris has been taken as
as, I have said, quite literally
