One of the newly baptised received the name Antonio, under the patronage of St Anthony the Great, the founder of Christian monasticism. The other catechumen was given the name Moses, in honour of St Moses the Ethiopian, whose life illustrates the power of repentance and the transformation that God\u2019s grace can bring to a person.<\/p>\n
