Lent at the Vatican: Exploring the Traditions

Join us on a journey through the Rome's and Vatican's centuries-old Lenten tradition of visiting a different station church each day during the 40-day period of spiritual preparation for Easter. 

We'll explore the history and significance of the first station church of Saint Sabina on the Aventine Hill. We'll also delve into other Lenten traditions in Rome, such as the Fioretto and the special blessing given with a relic of the Holy Face on Passion Sunday. Experience the spiritual and cultural richness of Rome during the Lenten season, leading up to the peak of Holy Week celebrations.
