This paper aims to be a brief but detailed and thoughtful analysis of the Christian temple and its symbols, with the aim of presenting the church/building simply and clearly as a privileged place of worship for God’s encounter with his people. To this end, a specific church is examined, analyzing its architectural and artistic elements to present it from a historical perspective. It then considers the liturgical elements that make it a “living” place of celebration as well as a culturally interesting environment. The church under consideration is located in Messina, specifically in Contesse, a village on the immediate southern outskirts of the city.
