The Church of the Holy Spirit, an ancient cathedral of the Arian cult erected at the beginning of the sixth century by Theodoric, was originally dedicated to the Hagia Anastasis or the Holy Resurrection of the Lord. This dedication is not surprising, since it should be remembered that the ties between Greece and Ravenna were very much alive for centuries during the Byzantine Empire. As for the adjoining Arian Baptistery, shortly after the death of Theodoric in 526, it was reconsecrated by Bishop Agnello to Catholic worship and dedicated to Saint Theodore, a Greek soldier and martyr of Amasea in Pontus.
