The church of the Holy Spirit, an ancient cathedral of the Aryan worship erect in the early 6th century by Theodoric, was originally dedicated to the Hagìa Anastasis or to the holy resurrection of the Lord. This dedication is not surprising since it should be remembered that the links between Greece and Ravenna were very alive for centuries during the Byzantine Empire. As for the adjoining baptistery of the Aryans, shortly after the death of Theodoric in 526, it was reconsecrated by the Bishop Lamb to the Catholic worship and dedicated to San Teodoro, a Greek soldier and martyr of Amasea in the Ponto.
