One more soul, a brother in the faith of Jesus with the Spanish Catalan name Jordi, was baptized in the Spanish Field at the IMS in Barcelona, Spain, on Sabbath, March 28, 2026, Pastor Franco Caputo, Treasurer of the European Division at the IMS who performed the baptism, confirmed through a photo published via Facebook on April 1, 2026. The daily temperature in Barcelona, Spain, varied on March 28, 2026, between 12 and 18 degrees Celsius which was a fine weather for a Christian baptism.
Barcelona, a city on the northeastern coast of Spain and the capital and largest city of the autonomous community of Catalonia, as well as the second-most populous municipality of Spain with a population of 1.7 million citizens, was founded, according to Wikipedia, by either the Phoenicians or the Carthaginians, who had trading posts along the Catalan coast. Barcelona whose name comes from the ancient Iberian Baŕkeno, is the main biotech hub in Spain and its international airport, Barcelona – El Prat Airport, handles over 50-million passengers per year.
