Rome's ancient Churches: A Lenten Pilgrimage

S. Martino ai Monti
The priest Equitius built an oratory on his own land. Symmachus rebuilt it, dedicating it to St. Silvester and St. Martin of Tours, and then again to St. Martin, Pope. In 1559 it was given to the Carmelites, who in 1650 remodelled it. It is notable for its landscapes by Poussin.

The practice of the bishop, his clergy and people processing to different "stational churches" for Mass during Lent dates from fourth century Jerusalem. In Rome this pious Lenten pilgrimage was greatly enriched with indulgences. Today, the Pope still begins Lent by traveling to Santa Sabina, the first Station Church of Rome. Prepare for Easter yourself by joining EWTN as we visit many of Rome's Stational Churches this Lent.
