Vetrata di Cristo Benedizione St James presso la Cattedrale dei Santi Filippo e Giacomo
"Stained Glass of Christ Blessing St James at the Cathedral of Saints Philip and James"...
The main church in Sorrento is the Duomo, also known as the Cathedral of San Filippo and San Giacomo, which is concealed right in the heart of the town. Sorrento is not known as a pilgrimage site, but a beautiful seaside resort village. The Duomo dates as far back as the 11th century but was completely rebuilt in the 15th century in Romanesque style. The façade is very plain for a Cathedral of such interior grandeur, which has three naves separated by pillars and a very ornate ceiling. Next to the cathedral is a bell tower resting on an arch with four columns, which dates back to medieval times. Inconspicuously, I entered the cathedral and saw only a dozen elderly women sitting in the front pews reciting aloud a novena. Not wanting to disturb them, I ventured around quietly and was taken aback by the reverent beauty and peaceful aura of the magnificent Duomo. James and Philip human men who became foundation stones of the Church, as we are reminded that holiness and its consequent apostolate are entirely the gifts of God. LUKE 24:49 “And [behold] I am sending the promise of my Father upon you, but stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.” Their first commission had been to expel unclean spirits, heal diseases, and announce the kingdom. They learned, gradually, that these externals were sacraments of an even greater miracle inside their persons…the divine power to love like God.
