ROME — The personal parti
cipation of His Holiness Pope
John XXIII in the Sunday ob
servances of the Lenten station
ai churches in Rome has stimu
lated interest in the ancient
custom.
Newspapers the world over
have carried stories about the
significance of the stationai
churches. The Pope could have
found no more striking a way
of calling the attention of Cath
olics and non-Catholics to the
extra ceremonies which make
Lent in Rome unique.
During Passion Week the sta
tionai observances moved from
one ancient Roman Church to
another, culminating in the tri
umph of Palm Sunday observed
with the papal court’s partici
pation in the procession of
palms in Rome’s cathedral, St.
John Lateran.
Monday of Passion Week was
commemorated in the quiet
church of St. Chrysognus now
entrusted to the Trinitarian Or
der. The present church is basic
ally a 12th century church re
stored in the baroque style of
the 17th century. About 25 feet
below the street level there has
been discovered an ancient
church believed to have been
built on the site of the martyr’s
home.
It was to this church that
many of the Greek monks and
priests came after they fled from
Constaninople during the period
of the Iconoclasts in the eighth
and ninth centuries. Located in
the poor section of Trastevere,
the church is rich in rare mar
bles and alabaster. In the main
altar there are preserved the
relics of the church’s name
saint and an arm of Pope Greg
ory the Great.
The Tuesday stationai church
of Passion Week no longer ex
ists Listed as the Station of St.
Ciriaco, the observance took its
name from a church that used
to stand near the Baths of Dio
cletian. By 1492 it had been
abandoned and its ruins were
eventually found in a vineyard
of a nearby monastery.
As a result Pope Sixtus IV
transferred the observance to
the Church of Santa Maria in
Via Lata — St. Mary’s on the
Broad Street. This church faces
on the main downtown Roman
street called the Corso which
leads to the famous Victor Em
manuel monument.

Ancient tradition holds that
the church stands on the site of
a house in which SS. Peter and
Paul were confined, and that
possibly St. Paul wrote some of
his epistles there.
Just across the street, and a
few feet farther on, is the
Church of St. Marceilus, the sta
tion of Wednesday of Passion
Week. The first church on the
site dated back to sometime in
the third or early fourth cen
tury. In the ninth century the
relics of Pope St. Marceilus
were entombed in a new church,
which has later rebuilt several
times. In 1375 it was entrusted
to the Servite Fathers. Today
most of their convent is occu
pied by a police station, but the
priests still operate the church.
Thursday of Passion Week
took the Lenten pilgrim to
the little-frequented church of
St. Apollinaris, who was a com
panion of St. Peter and conse
crated bishop of Ravenna by
the Prince of the Apostles. Pope
Julius III gave the church to
St. Ignatius who founded the
German College in a nearby
building, which it still occupies.
Friday of Passion Week was
celebrated at the stationai
Church of St. Steven on the Cel-
ian Hill, popularly known as
San Stefano Rotondo because of
its round shape. The church is a
national monument and is rare
ly used for religious services.
However, on its station day
the Jesuit fathers and students
of the German College mark the
annual Lenten ceremonies in the
walls of the church which is
basically the same church that
was built in the fifth century,
despite alterations.
Probably its most striking fea
ture, outside of its circular
shape, is a series of 34 frescoes
of vivid forms of martyrdom
undergone by Roman Chris
tians.
Saturday is observed at the
first church in Rome to be ded
icated to the memory of St.
John the Evangelist, called St.
John’s at the Latin Gate. An
ancient but much restored
church, it is entrusted to the
Rosminian Fathers and is locat
ed near the Latin Gate of the
ancient wall of Rome.
Palm Sunday is celebrated in
the Basilica of St. John Lateran,
the “mother and chief of all the
churches of the world.” The
church, which is the Pope’s ca
thedral as the Bishop of Rome,
traces its origins back to the
fourth century when the Em
peror Constantine became a
Christian. The Emperor gave his
residence to Pope Sylvester and
the adjoining building was made
into a church.
Because it was attached to
the Pope’s residence it became a
splendid church, described by
Dante as it was in 1300 in his
Divine Comedy. However, its
interior was destroyed by fire
several times. The present
church has a white austerity
about it that is unlike most of
the multicolored and gilt
churches of Rome. The seat of
five general councils, and pos
sibly of the forthcoming ecu
menical council, it is one of
Rome’s four major basilicas.
