context_page_description: The Moses and Aaron Church, in the Waterlooplein neighborhood of Amsterdam, is officially the Roman Catholic Church of St. Anthony of Padua. Originally a clandestine church, it was operated by Franciscan priests at a house on Jodenbreestraat ["Jewish Broad Street"], where the wall tablets of Moses and Aaron hung on the wall. In 1970, the present church was designated as a Cultural Heritage Monument of the Netherlands.
context_section_description: On the architrave of the portal entrance is the Latin inscription from the year 1842:
  QUAE FUIT A SAECLIS SUB SIGNO MOYSIS ET AARON
  STAT SALVATORI RENOVATA ILLUSTRIOR AEDES.
  "What was under the sign of Moses and Aaron for centuries,
  has been renewed for the great glory of the Savior."
  The bold letters in the chronogram spell out, in the Roman numerals, with the "U" and "Y" substituting for the "V", the mathematical equation for adding up the total sum of the year 1842:  5 + 6 + 151 + 6 + 1006 + 56 + 6 + 50 + 56 + 500 = 1842
caption: Memorial of the victims of the December Murders of 1982.
