The Church of the Santíssima Trindade ((英語:Church of the Holy Trinity)), officially the minor Basilica of the Holy Trinity ((ポルトガル語:da Santíssima Trindade), is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica in the Sanctuary of Fátima (Shrine of Our Lady of Fátima) in the civil parish) of Fátima, in the municipality of Ourém in Portugal. In 2009 it received the ''Outstanding Structure Award'' by the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering,〔http://www.iabse.org/IABSE/association/Organisation_files/Outstanding_Structure_Award/The_Church_of_the_Most_Holy_Trinity__Fatima__Portugal.aspx〕 which aims at recognizing the most remarkable, innovative, creative or otherwise stimulating structure completed within the last few years.〔http://www.iabse.org/IABSE/association/Award_files/Outstanding_Structure_Award/OStrA.aspx〕 ==History== In 1953, the basilica of ''Our Lady of the Rosary of Fátima'' ((ポルトガル語:Basílica de Nossa Senhora do Rosário de Fátima)) was consecrated. Situated on the southeast corner of the church, statue of Pope Pius XII (sculpted in white marble by Portuguese sculptor Domingos Soares Branco) was first revealed to the public, in a ceremony that included a formal blessing.〔 A statue of Pope Paul VI was erected in May 1968 (authored by Portuguese sculptor Joaquim Correia) on the northwest corner of the church.〔 During the 1973 liturgical year there were reports of the site's incapacity to support pilgrims on days of relatively minor volumes at the basilica.〔 This was made clear with the inauguration of a restored statue of D. José Alves Correia da Silva, first bishop of the Diocese of Leiria (by Joaquim Correia), on 2 February 1973.〔 In 1974 the first steps towards resolving the influx of pilgrims occurred with the elaboration a pastoral program that included a new large covered assembly, by the rector of the sanctuary, Monsenhor Luciano Guerra.〔 But, the elaboration of a construction project for a new church was only initiated in 1996.〔 In the meantime, new religious symbols and reliquaries were added to the sanctuary, including a silver ostensorium by sculptor Zulmiro de Carvalho, in the main chapel of the Holy Sacramento ((ポルトガル語:Capela do Santíssimo Sacramento)).〔 The plans to construct the new church were elaborated in 1996.〔 In 1997, the sanctuary organized an international competition for proposals the new church: the international jury selected the design of Greek architect Alexandros Tombazis on 19 December 1998. The work on the new church began in February 2004, with the cornerstone installed on 6 June of the same year.〔〔Luciano Guerra (13 August 2007), p.1〕 The first stone, laid by retired bishop of the Diocese of Leiria-Fátima, Serafim Ferreira e Silva, was blessed and donated by Pope John Paul II on 9 March 2004, from a marble fragment of Apostle Peter's tomb, located under the basilica in Rome.〔 This was only a symbolic act, as the stone was later placed on display for visiting pilgrims within the finished church.〔 The church was dedicated on 12 October 2007, in the company of Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, Secretary-of-State for the Vatican and then-legate to Pope Benedict XVI, as part of the closing ceremonies dedicated to 90th anniversary of the Marian apparitions of Fátima.〔〔〔Luciano Guerra (13 August 2007), p.3〕 On 2 June 2008, the inauguration of the 14 stations of the Via Lucis, executed by Italian artist Vanni Rinaldi.〔 At the same time, a image of Nossa Senhora de Fátima (located in the interior of the church) of Carrara marble was executed by Italian sculptor Benedetto Pietrogrande.〔 From 2008 several artistic projects were carried out by various international contributors.〔〔 Large gilded terracotta panels in the presbytery, by a group of artists specializing in liturgical art were painted; from eight nations and four Christian churches, based in the Pontifical Oriental Institute in Rome, the work was authored by Slovenian artist Marko Ivan Rupnik.〔〔 On the walls of confessional, azulejo panels, representing the episodes in the life of saints Peter and Paul, by architect Álvaro Siza Vieira were mounted.〔〔 A statute of Pope John Paul II, located to the northeast of the church, by Polish sculptor Czeslaw Dzwigaj was also added to the grounds in 2008.〔〔 A weathered steel cross, located in the church interior, approximately high and wide was mounted at that time by German sculptor Robert Schad.〔〔 A suspended sculpture by Cypriot artist Maria Loizidou was placed in the entrance portico, while the execution of the doors in bronze, and panels from the Rosary, by Portuguese artist Pedro Calapez, were also completed; and lateral doors in bronze, dedicated to the twelve apostles of Christ, with text by Portuguese artist Francisco Providência, were installed.〔〔 Meanwhile, stained glass panels with Bible verses in six languages were installed by Canadian artist Kerry Joe Kelly, and a bronze crucifix, suspended over the main altar by Irishwoman Catherine Green.〔〔 On 19 June 2012, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments sent word that the church would be elevated to the status of minor basilica, which came into effect on 13 August 2012.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Church of the Santíssima Trindade (Fátima)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
