Acerca de esta actividad
After hotel pickup, your private Rome tour begins with a visit to the Patriarchal Basilica of St. Mary Major, the first church in Rome dedicated to the Virgin Mary and custodian to planks of wood believed to be part of the crib at Jesus' birth. In the Borghese Chapel, see the image of Mary and child, attributed to St. Luke, and view the final resting place of Pope Paul V.
Continue to the Basilica of St. Praxedis, a church near St. Mary Major that houses a segment of the alleged pillar upon which Jesus was flogged and tortured before his death. Then proceed to the Basilica of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem, where St. Helen, mother of Emperor Constantine, brought back soil from Jerusalem for the church to be constructed on. This site guards purported relics from Jesus' crucifixion, including a piece of the Holy Cross, a nail, and thorns from the crown.
Next, head to the Holy Steps, a Passionist monastery that houses the marble steps at Pontius Pilate that Jesus walked up to his crucifixion. Right at this sacred venue you will have the chance to obtain the Plenary Indulgence, if you wish, by climbing the same stairs on your knees
Afterward, visit the Papal Archbasilica of St. John in Lateran, the cathedral church of Rome.
Finally, visit the Basilica of St Paul Outside the Wall, dedicated to St. Paul the apostle. Your tour ends with hotel drop-off.
The Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy officially ended November 20, 2016 but through this tour we will be able to live it over its final date. Understanding its meaning will be very important! Come with us.
