Nicodemus was the protagonist, with Jesus, of one of the most beautiful passages of Scripture referring to the meaning of the conversion of the heart, or, if you like, dedicated to the greatness of what God can do in the life of those who want to be turned.

The beauty and meaning of the conversation -located in chapter 3 of the Gospel of Saint John- revolve around the idea of ​​conversion as a “born again”, thus prefiguring what Baptism is.

In chapter 7, Nicodemus is the voice that questions the Pharisees full of envy who want to hasten the death of Jesus at all costs: “Does our Law allow us to judge a man without first listening to him to find out what he did?” (Jn 7,51).
