Light in Baptismal Symbolism Based on the Catechesis of John Chrysostom
Abstract
The article presents the use of the symbolism of light in John Chrysostom’s catechesis addressed to catechumens and neophytes. It shows how the catechist from Antioch describes the baptismal celebration as well as those who attend it. It also emphasizes the tasks that Chrysostom places before the newly baptized members of the Church community, using the symbol of light in their context and juxtaposing it with the opposition light–dark.
