Relics From Passion Of The Christ Walking Tour In Rome

When the Roman Empire embraced the faith it once persecuted, it exploded into a frenzy of observance for the history and truth of the Christian faith manifest in the literary, the artistic and the relics of the early Christian church. Many of these were then brought to the then capital of the world – Rome. On this tour expect to have an intimate encounter with the Relics of the Passion of Jesus Christ – physical objects which were used in his torture and death, and which were mostly brought to Rome from Jerusalem by St Helena – the mother of Emperor Constantine – in the 4th century. All pilgrims who join us on this once in a lifetime Catholic pilgrimage tour will be given time to reflect and pray as part of their religious tour experience.
