Day 51: Pontificio Santuario della Scala

Eye-opening! We have never expected that we could find the holy stairs here. Unfortunately we didn’t take pictures inside as people are praying on the holy stairs. In the video, you could see barely prayers are moving up the stairs slowly. Highly recommend to visit this place in person to feel the holy stairs. Prayers climbed the stairs with their knees.

The Scala Sancta (English: Holy Stairs, Italian: Scala Santa) are a set of 28 white marble steps located in an edifice on extraterritorial property of the Holy See in Rome, Italy proximate to the Archbasilica of Saint John in Laterano.Leggi altro
