Pope's Interest Participation Spurs In Lenten Observances COMPLETE mm TRANSIT “Serving the Southeast Safely” 5805 Old Peaditree Rd. Doravilfe, Ga. LOOK FOR THE FRIENDLY FOREMOST DEALERS ... EVERYWHERE ICE CREAM MILK By James C. O'Neill (N.C.W.C. News Service) 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. Waiter Greetin A. S.

DELIVERY SERVICE PO. 7-9726 FOREST PARK, GEORGIA ★ RELIABLE AND FRIENDLY SERVICE CORNER MAIN ST. & PHILLIP DRIVE 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.
