Overview

When the Roman Empire embraced the faith it once persecuted, it exploded into a frenzy of observance for the history and truth of the Christian faith manifest in the literary, the artistic and the relics of the early Christian church. Many of these were then brought to the then capital of the world - Rome. On this tour expect to have an intimate encounter with the Relics of the Passion of Jesus Christ - physical objects which were used in his torture and death, and which were mostly brought to Rome from Jerusalem by St Helena - the mother of Emperor Constantine - in the 4th century. All pilgrims who join us on this once in a lifetime Catholic pilgrimage tour will be given time to reflect and pray as part of their religious tour experience.

Meeting points

We will meet at the fountain in the piazza in front of the entrance to the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. Your guide will be holding an orange sign with a lion head on it.

Itinerary

  • Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore

    We begin our tour with a visit to one of the oldest Churches dedicated to Theotokos (Mother of God) in Rome - the Basilica of St Mary Major - containing, beneath its main altar, wood from the manger in which the baby Jesus once lay. The church adorned by every era of Italian art history even holds the body of the devout baroque master artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini

    30 minutes

  • Basilica di Santa Prassede

    We then walk over to the Basilica of Santa Prassede, with its fabulous 9th century mosaics and most importantly the stone pillar on which Jesus was scourged brought from the Praetorium in Jerusalem to Rome in the 13th century.

    20 minutes

  • Chiesa di Sant'Alfonso all'Esquilino

    Only a few yards away we then enter the church of San Alfonso Ligouri to see the beautiful 15th century Byzantine icon “Our Lady of Perpetual Help / Succour” also known as the Virgin of the Passion or Theotokos of the Passion, which is probably the most recognisable icon in the world.

    20 minutes

  • Santuario della Scala Santa

    Continue on to the Holy Steps on which Jesus was judged by Pontius Pilate, transported to Rome in the 4th century by St Helena. Although we won't have time to ascend the stairs on our knees according to the pilgrim tradition, we will also peer into the Holy of Holies at the top to see the icon painted by the Gospel writer, St Luke.

    30 minutes

  • Arcibasilica di San Giovanni in Laterano

    We visit the Cathedral of Rome, the Basilica of Saint John Lateran (San Giovanni Laterano) to marvel at the architectural design of Borromini and understand the symbolism and history of the stunning mosaic. Your expert guide will then point out the place above the high altar where the skulls of Saints Peter and Paul rest.

    30 minutes

  • Basilica di Santa Croce in Gerusalemme

    From there you will continue to the climax of the tour and one of the most holy places in the world - the Basilica of the Holy Cross - built on earth brought from Calvary in the 4th century. Learn the history about the artifacts of Jesus' passion and death that were brought to Rome and finally enter to see fragments of the Holy Sepulcher and the Cave of Bethlehem, a Nail of The Crucifixion, a 2 Thorns of The Crown Thorns, the small walnut board reading Jesus the Nazarene king of the Jews and the wood of the Cross Jesus was crucified on

Do this tour!! Period.

Published on Oct, 2024

This is a must do tour in Rome!! We expected a group but it was only two of us. Daniel was an incredible tour guide. His presentation as we visited each church without giving away the key relic to be discovered until we saw it made the tour amazing. The history of each church and how the relic was brought over from Jerusalem was incredible. Very moving and spiritual. Every Christian should do this tour while in Rome and get away from the crowded tourist spots for a few hours. Be prepared to walk a lot, but well worth it.

This was our life changing experience. Our guide Paul was kind, polite and very knowledgeable. and patiently explained the minute details. Thank you Paul for such an amazing and heart touching tour. We will highly recommend Paul to everyone,

Relics and Scripture Come to Life

Published on Sep, 2024

The physical tour itself was beyond what we expected, but the knowledge and reality of our tour guide brought it all to life. I have never had such an in depth experience during the entire tour and wished it was even longer. Do yourself a favor and book this tour if you are really interested in the history of the church, apostles and the Lord.
