Our Lady of Arabia Cathedral, which can seat 2,300 people, is located in a desert town about 20 kilometres south of the capital, Manama. The modernist Church with an octagonal dome, several tiers of seating, two chapels and an 800-capacity auditorium is set to become a focal point for Bahrain\u2019s 80,000 Catholics and an architectural landmark.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailynews.lk\/sites\/default\/files\/news\/2021\/12\/16\/z_p32-Bahrain%E2%80%99s2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"310\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The Holy Bible says in Psalm 133: \u201cHow good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity\u201d. Today Bahrain has enriched these words by showing the world, how Muslims and Christians are able to live in peace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">By the 1930s, Bahrain had become the commercial centre of the Arabian Gulf on the success of the oil boom. The Gulf\u2019s first Roman Catholic Church &#8211; The Sacred Heart Church opened in Manama in 1939 as more workers arrived. The multi-religious atmosphere continued to attract more foreign workers. The new cathedral is established close to Awali, a small town in the centre of the country that has long hosted expatriate workers dating back to the oil days. From the cathedral compound, oil heads can still be seen pumping. Today, Bahrain\u2019s Catholic community consists of working migrants from dozens of countries, but mainly the Philippines and India. Bahrain is also one of the few Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries to have a local Christian population \u2013 largely Roman Catholic &#8211; of about 1,000. The majority of them were originally Arab Christians from the Middle East who immigrated to Bahrain from the 1930s to 1950s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailynews.lk\/sites\/default\/files\/news\/2021\/12\/16\/z_p32-Bahrain%E2%80%99s4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"247\" height=\"430\" \/>Relations between Bahrain and the Vatican have advanced in recent years. King Hamad presented a model of the cathedral to Pope Francis in 2014 and he has also invited the Pontiff to visit the country. \u201cTolerance is important but not only tolerance,\u201d said Bishop Paul Hinder. \u201cIt needs entering into an understanding of each other. That doesn\u2019t mean I have to convert to the other religion but I have to have a proper understanding and get rid of all the prejudices. It is an ongoing process.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">During the grand opening of this cathedral, Bahrain and papal flags fluttered in the roads, while the sound of hymns drifted out from the cathedral\u2019s pews into the desert air ahead of the opening. It would be the end of a journey that began on February 11, 2013, (the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes) when the decision to build the cathedral was taken. The land was a kind giftof Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the King of Bahrain, since 2002. The prudent King personally presented a model of the cathedral to the Pope in 2014. The cathedral is part of a complex of around 95,000 square feet in Awali, which has a population of 1.7 million people and is located to the east of Saudi Arabia and west of Qatar. In the book, Nehemiah Chapter 2 (Bible), it says: \u201cLet us arise and build God\u2019s house\u201d &#8211; and the people of Bahrain supported the Catholics to do this task.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailynews.lk\/sites\/default\/files\/news\/2021\/12\/16\/z_p32-Bahrain%E2%80%99s3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"1241\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cIt is a wonderful feeling,\u201d said Bishop Paul Hinder, who oversees the Catholic Vicariate, or jurisdiction, of Northern Arabia that encompasses Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. \u201cWe are happy to have such a wonderful and extraordinary building that will be an architectural highlight in Bahrain,\u201d said Bishop Hinder. Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the King of Bahrain, granted the 9,000 square metre plot of land eight years ago and his representative, Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad Al Khalifa, inaugurated the church on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">It is the culmination of years of work involving the country\u2019s rulers, Church figures, the wider Roman Catholic community in Bahrain and scores of others from architects to builders. It also speaks to a rich history of tolerance in Bahrain for other religions that date back centuries. Our Lady of Arabia &#8211; named after the patroness of the Vicariate of Northern Arabia &#8211; can be seen for kilometres around, and its design is striking. It resembles a tent in which the Prophet Moses met his people, as described in the Old Testament, and is topped with an octagonal dome under which most of the congregation will sit for mass.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The cathedral\u2019s grey walls are made with pietra serena stone that is only produced in Florence. On the walls are a series of beautiful icons portraying scenes such as the death and resurrection of the Risen Lord Jesus Christ, crafted with materials including 24-carat gold shipped from Italy. Light constantly floods the church from different angles. Foreign media quoted the Italian Architect Mattia Del Prete saying: \u201cI feel joy and full of emotion. The most fundamental aspect of the whole project is the light. At every time during the day, it changes the colour and atmosphere.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The opening was indeed a moment of celebration for Bahrain\u2019s Catholics, but also one to express deep gratitude to their host country. Arabia is a place where, for centuries, Islam was the predominant religion. But Bahrain has long allowed people of other faiths, from Judaism to Hinduism, to worship in peace and brotherhood. A Hindu temple was established in Bahrain about 200 years ago, while in the 19th Century, an American mission was allowed to open a church there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">At the consecration, there was one notable figure missing: Bishop Camillo Ballin, who died on April 12, 2020, at the age of 75, before he could see his cherished dream of a cathedral dedicated to Our Lady of Arabia realised in Bahrain. The Cathedral of Our Lady of Arabia will be the second cathedral in the Vicariate after Kuwait\u2019s Holy Family in the Desert Cathedral and will be headed by Cardinal Luis Tagle, Apostolic Vicar of Southern Arabia. During this yuletide month of December, the King of Bahrain and its people have gifted the world with the important gifts of love, tolerance and brotherhood which go beyond a magnificent cathedral.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bahrain\u2019s blessed Cathedral builds religious unity-By Dishan Joseph The new Catholic cathedral Source:Dailynews The Arabian Gulf\u2019s largest Roman Catholic Church has been opened in Bahrain.
