Church of Santa Croce
Highlight • Religious Site
It is very ancient, perhaps older than the cathedral itself, and certainly contemporary with the Church of the Rosary. This is evidenced by the rock left after the recent restoration, which bears the carved Greek letter Y (gamma), representing the number 3, the three persons of the Holy Trinity. This rock was the altar stone, reminiscent of Christ Rock Corner Head, on which the church was founded.
It was built in the Romanesque style and renovated in the 16th century with a terracotta barrel vault. On the façade, you can admire a marble plaque from 1830 depicting the Confraternity of Santa Croce, which was housed in this church. It was an important, economically independent church. The brothers wore a white, hooded cloak that they pulled over their faces. They were affiliated to the Archconfraternity of the Gonfalone, founded in Rome, and as such enjoyed privileges granted to them by Pope Gregory, including religious week, religious theater, processions, popular festivals in city centers and rural churches, as well as aid to the poor, the sick, prisoners, and the settlement of disputes between rival families. The members of the confraternity played a very important role in the civic and religious community of Tempi. The confraternity's distinctive feature was to revive a symbolism and a cultural and religious activity that already belonged to the Templars and, like the Templar Order, was suppressed by the authority of the Church. In fact, on December 21, 1813, Bishop Monsignor Paradiso suppressed the Confraternity of the SS. Crucified for the excessive autonomy it displayed with regard to the provisions of the Church. From this point on, the church slowly declined, was practically abandoned, and gradually degraded to an oratory, a religious building with an ancillary function to the cathedral. In this church, the largest of the churches, the nobles of Tempio met with the clergy on April 29, 1679, to decide on the construction of the Capuchin Poor Clares Convent.
