"Baptized: A Journey through Time and Faith" Step back in time to witness the expulsion of the Moriscos from Spain, as ordered by Philip III. The Church of Saint Paul in Valladolid stands witness to this historic event, where countless lives were forever changed. Traveling further into history, we find ourselves amidst the serene beauty of Gutachtal in Germany. Here, a child is christened, captured in a captivating woodcut from the 19th century. This digitally restored reproduction takes us back to an era when traditions were cherished and celebrated with great fervor. In Switzerland, we join a family gathering where Anne Baebi Jowaeger sits at the table admiring her grandchild who was recently baptized. Mother Meyeli and father Jakobli complete this heartwarming scene that showcases generations coming together under one roof. Venturing across continents, we arrive in Mexico where Francisco Fray Martin de Valencia is received by Hernan after his baptism. This significant moment symbolizes not only personal transformation but also cultural exchange between two worlds. Delving deeper into history's tapestry, we encounter Constantine's baptism depicted on frescoes adorning the room named after him. These vivid images transport us to ancient times when faith played an integral role in shaping empires. The Valley of Loyola unfolds before our eyes as Azpeitia lies peacefully beneath its church - the very place where Saint Ignatius was baptized centuries ago. Engraved details bring forth a sense of reverence for this sacred site that continues to inspire pilgrims today. A black-and-white photograph transports us to another pivotal location - the place where Christ himself was baptized. Standing on hallowed ground, we are reminded of timeless rituals that bind believers across generations and cultures. Moving beyond religious contexts, an oil portrait introduces us to David Joris - an Anabaptist figure whose beliefs challenged societal norms during a tumultuous period.
