Today's Gospel is, indeed, that of 24 December. A Coptic Calendar tells us that Saint Joseph was Liturgically honoured in a special way on 20 July from the 8th-Century A.D.<br /><br />At the end of the 15th-Century, his Feast was kept on 19 March and, in 1621, Pope Gregory XV extended it to the whole Church. In 1870, Blessed Pope Pius IX proclaimed Saint Joseph Protector of The Universal Church.<br /><br />This Saint "of The Royal Race of David" was a Just Man (Gospel). As, by his marriage with The Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph has certain rights of The Blessed Fruit of The Virginal Womb of his spouse, a moral affinity exists between him and Jesus.<br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2fOeUNMPE3fOdDPKeuSkOWVWZDJA7cCSF6lNWqqUqbP8HiMxJrS8VwrroJBVEDnlxaLOXamd14oUMLitR1d6r8jRWL_VKiTkVGwVDz-snFJOI8krHpTqJtru2gGHTj65ouke7rE1Gnk2G/s1600/SAINT+JOSEPH4.png"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><img border="0" height="329" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2fOeUNMPE3fOdDPKeuSkOWVWZDJA7cCSF6lNWqqUqbP8HiMxJrS8VwrroJBVEDnlxaLOXamd14oUMLitR1d6r8jRWL_VKiTkVGwVDz-snFJOI8krHpTqJtru2gGHTj65ouke7rE1Gnk2G/s640/SAINT+JOSEPH4.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>He exercised over The Child-God a certain paternal authority, which the Preface of Saint Joseph delicately alludes to as that of a Foster-Father. Without having begotten Jesus, Saint Joseph, by the bounds which unite him to Mary, is legally and morally The Father of The Son of The Blessed Virgin Mary.<br /><br />It follows that we must honour, by a special homage, this dignity, or supernatural excellence, of Saint Joseph. “In The Family of Nazareth”, says <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/4974322791812743403/5216118055442830160#">Cornelius á Lapide</a> (a Flemish <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/4974322791812743403/5216118055442830160#">Jesuit</a> and <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/4974322791812743403/5216118055442830160#">Exegete</a> (1567-1637), “were the three greatest and most excellent persons in the World. Wherefore, to Christ is due The Divine Worship, to The Virgin A Higher Worship than to Saints, and to Saint Joseph The Full Worship due to Saints”.<br /><br />God revealed to Saint Joseph The Mystery of The Incarnation (Ibid.) and “chose him among all” (Epistle) to commit to his care The Incarnate Word and The Virginity of Mary.<br /><br />The Hymn at Lauds says that: “Christ and The Virgin were with him at his last hour and watched by him, their faces gleaming with sweet serenity”. Saint Joseph went to Heaven for ever to enjoy The Beatific Vision of The Word, Whose humanity he had so long and so closely contemplated on Earth.</span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2fOeUNMPE3fOdDPKeuSkOWVWZDJA7cCSF6lNWqqUqbP8HiMxJrS8VwrroJBVEDnlxaLOXamd14oUMLitR1d6r8jRWL_VKiTkVGwVDz-snFJOI8krHpTqJtru2gGHTj65ouke7rE1Gnk2G/s1600/SAINT+JOSEPH4.png"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><img border="0" height="329" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2fOeUNMPE3fOdDPKeuSkOWVWZDJA7cCSF6lNWqqUqbP8HiMxJrS8VwrroJBVEDnlxaLOXamd14oUMLitR1d6r8jRWL_VKiTkVGwVDz-snFJOI8krHpTqJtru2gGHTj65ouke7rE1Gnk2G/s640/SAINT+JOSEPH4.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />This Saint is, therefore, justly considered the patron and model of interior and contemplative Souls.

Jesus, in predicting it to them, announced to them His Triumph and their reprobation: “Yet a little while, and I go to My Father, and thither you cannot come.”<br /><br />Let us ask “God to sanctify our Fasts and mercifully grant us the pardon of our sins” (Collect), so that “we may always enjoy health of Soul and body” (Prayer over the people).<br /><br />Mass: Miserére mihi.<br />Preface: Of The Holy Cross.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRgwRGx_VDg6yRB5ht9PbBQ01Zwn8VlcsB0sQg3MlU1ak7jvJGTy-oW7hlWwMLPrPZwEyHMFwXxgHxNMltIijN7r-y7UerW6kauXdh6VZzLqKCM9A4sMLTFT4jt21qokX454MPPdMRbCNu/s1600/BASILICA1.png"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRgwRGx_VDg6yRB5ht9PbBQ01Zwn8VlcsB0sQg3MlU1ak7jvJGTy-oW7hlWwMLPrPZwEyHMFwXxgHxNMltIijN7r-y7UerW6kauXdh6VZzLqKCM9A4sMLTFT4jt21qokX454MPPdMRbCNu/s1600/BASILICA1.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><i><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Basilica of San Crisogono, Rome.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Photo: December 2006.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Source: Own work.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Author: <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Lalupa">Lalupa</a></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>(Wikimedia Commons)</i></div></i><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1xrQ2U1kENUTO-1H36QIr_tsIulQg4P24oUSEUHum8DIxhhd6KsvQfTYOx_Hd_xysgnCfipLVe6q3ecFKsO8UTQuBpJL-MtuOtvKpkyhGLDrJA2Gsuj7yD2lv5o80tPo-910PETzSjqk/s1600/Backup_of_Lenten+Station+At+The+Basilica+Of+Saint+Chrysogonus4.png"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1xrQ2U1kENUTO-1H36QIr_tsIulQg4P24oUSEUHum8DIxhhd6KsvQfTYOx_Hd_xysgnCfipLVe6q3ecFKsO8UTQuBpJL-MtuOtvKpkyhGLDrJA2Gsuj7yD2lv5o80tPo-910PETzSjqk/s640/Backup_of_Lenten+Station+At+The+Basilica+Of+Saint+Chrysogonus4.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><div style="font-style: italic; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfGt37gy0UpCNjC2dsXeYH2ClZ8OMR8OrDhs_XHTEbJJ9aul0AZ-ZDiTjBGuJIn_vBcqM4pKvsl04Hca8-O3LyKJ7uCfI7FQEkb6LISEbeSHHDCjhktICmKjlZNGtHMGPEjqu_qrIsxCHUmp4Ao7wpuAQY-bWevjo7OAq93IUhA4FONHmhloE8xG10yW0/s772/SWEETBRIAR277.png"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfGt37gy0UpCNjC2dsXeYH2ClZ8OMR8OrDhs_XHTEbJJ9aul0AZ-ZDiTjBGuJIn_vBcqM4pKvsl04Hca8-O3LyKJ7uCfI7FQEkb6LISEbeSHHDCjhktICmKjlZNGtHMGPEjqu_qrIsxCHUmp4Ao7wpuAQY-bWevjo7OAq93IUhA4FONHmhloE8xG10yW0/s16000/SWEETBRIAR277.png" /></span></a></i></div><div style="font-style: italic; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: x-large;">The following Text is from Wikipedia - the free encyclopædia.<br /><br />San Crisogono is a Basilica <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/4974322791812743403/60993289550142980#">Church in</a> <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/4974322791812743403/60993289550142980#">Rome</a> (rione <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/4974322791812743403/60993289550142980#">Trastevere</a>) Dedicated to the Martyr, <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/4974322791812743403/60993289550142980#">Saint Chrysogonus</a>.<br /><br />The Church was one of the <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/4974322791812743403/60993289550142980#">Tituli</a>, the first <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/4974322791812743403/60993289550142980#">Parish Churches</a> of Rome.

As the plan is so atypical of Early-Roman Churches, some believe that the structure originally had a different function, and the presence of the Basins could mean that it was a “<a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/4974322791812743403/60993289550142980#">Fullonica</a>”, a Laundry and Dye-House. The area was a commercial district at the time, so this is quite likely.<br /><br />Others think that the Basin in the South Wall was made for <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/4974322791812743403/60993289550142980#">Baptism</a> by immersion. As there were other Basins, too, it seems more likely that it was originally intended for a different use, but it may well have been used as a Baptismal Font, after the building had been Consecrated as a Church.<br /><br /><b><i><span style="color: red;">Liturgy.</span></i></b><br /><br />The paintings are from the 8th-Century A.D. to the 11th-Century, and include <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/4974322791812743403/60993289550142980#">Pope Sylvester</a> capturing the dragon, <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/4974322791812743403/60993289550142980#">Saint Pantaleon</a> healing the blind man, <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/4974322791812743403/60993289550142980#">Saint Benedict</a> healing the leper and the rescue of <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/4974322791812743403/60993289550142980#">Saint Placid</a>.

These present days, which we know to be close to that most sublime Sacrament of Divine Mercy, require Devotion in a yet higher degree” (Second Nocturn).<br /><br />The Mystery, of which Saint Leo speaks, is Our Redeemer’s Passion, whose Anniversary is close at hand. Priest and Mediator of The New Testament, Jesus will soon ascend His Cross, and the Blood, which He will shed, He will offer to His Father, entering into The Holies, which is Heaven itself (Epistle).<br /><br />The Church sings: “All hail, thou Mystery adored ! Hail, Cross !, on which The Life Himself died, and by death our life restored ! ” (Hymn of Vespers).</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqK5trcfIBwEUv2zwIhzfaMkgKoZeqgi5BMZkBXZE71NS4__ZvKb7VJi5Uet7fUMwicI6oUTunhM5n4SXv6GFS0762NKNb9dhMPRCNImtqaC-G4insbP4U7rJkYL2rwwFuWfhenJTm_c8/s1600/PASSION+SUNDAY4.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="184" data-original-width="738" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqK5trcfIBwEUv2zwIhzfaMkgKoZeqgi5BMZkBXZE71NS4__ZvKb7VJi5Uet7fUMwicI6oUTunhM5n4SXv6GFS0762NKNb9dhMPRCNImtqaC-G4insbP4U7rJkYL2rwwFuWfhenJTm_c8/s1600/PASSION+SUNDAY4.png" /></span></a></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">The Eucharist is the Memorial of this boundless love of a God for men, for, when instituting it, Our Lord said: “This is My Body, which shall be delivered for you; this Chalice is The New Testament in My Blood.

Seven Columns of the North Side are embedded in the South Wall of the Church.<br /><br />There used to be a fourth temple, just to the North, the temple of Pietas, built by Manius Acilius Glabrio, who was Consul in 191 B.C., but this was demolished for the construction of the <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/4974322791812743403/4836823844368126700#">Theatre of Marcellus</a>.</span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPMxPEKdVqBVmtElYla180SAWuc9g8QF4lsyplZeDjxs8ZF7JV6a1BHeVJZz3hV8mj2S8XGIZoRoHDbevZJ3xtSQE0US2Qrtdfw3PmIyKj3KM4_7YMyKdQEN9G1y-8TrpgCiT-gOBqWJVb/s1600/ROMAN8.png"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPMxPEKdVqBVmtElYla180SAWuc9g8QF4lsyplZeDjxs8ZF7JV6a1BHeVJZz3hV8mj2S8XGIZoRoHDbevZJ3xtSQE0US2Qrtdfw3PmIyKj3KM4_7YMyKdQEN9G1y-8TrpgCiT-gOBqWJVb/s1600/ROMAN8.png" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></i></div><i><span style="font-size: x-large;"><div style="text-align: center;"><i>English: Basilica of Saint Nicholas-in-Prison</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>(San Nicola-in-Carcere) </i><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">with Roman Relics.</span></i></div></span></i><div><i><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">German: San Nicola-in-Carcere (Rom)</span></i></div></i></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">mit altrömischen Relikten.</span></i></div><i><span style="font-size: x-large;"><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Photo: May 2007.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Source: Own work.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Author: <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Berthold_Werner">Berthold Werner</a></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>(Wikimedia Commons)</i></div></span></i><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkowQlSSAgkvgkFWh769JvOzPhVGWPgWdHo8v-RfPTA-j4JoB__2SxNErTcSKDTUjRCqG8Cz8KLa33LXo5C4C_fqbtDNHEZ-WPofN7bA7JrC2x6JgJNVTB6rIRf3ZD-NkiZK_DRzH1w8o/s1600/Backup_of_Lenten+Station+At+The+Basilica+Of+Saint+Nicholas-In-Prison+%2528San+Nicola-In-Carcere%25294.png"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkowQlSSAgkvgkFWh769JvOzPhVGWPgWdHo8v-RfPTA-j4JoB__2SxNErTcSKDTUjRCqG8Cz8KLa33LXo5C4C_fqbtDNHEZ-WPofN7bA7JrC2x6JgJNVTB6rIRf3ZD-NkiZK_DRzH1w8o/s640/Backup_of_Lenten+Station+At+The+Basilica+Of+Saint+Nicholas-In-Prison+%2528San+Nicola-In-Carcere%25294.png" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />How the three temples became a Church is completely obscure.

The surrounding buildings, many of them Mediæval, were demolished, leaving the Church isolated.

From this, the custom is taken of placing Relics in The Altar Stone. From Rome, the Veneration of these Martyrs spread throughout The Church. Saint Martin was one of the first Confessors (a Saint, not a Martyr) to whom Universal Devotion was accorded in The West.<br /><br />The Lenten Station is a Sanctuary on The Esquiline. A holy Priest had given his house to Pope Saint Sylvester to turn into a Church. It was one of the twenty-five Parish Churches of Rome in the 5th-Century A.D.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">In the 6th-Century A.D., Pope Saint Symmachus built a new Church, next to the first, on a higher level, and Dedicated both to Saint Sylvester and Saint Martin of Tours.

McCormack’s rendering of the lovely old Aria is perfect, and captures the earnest, albeit finger-wagging, sense of morality and propriety so characteristic of the age.<br /><br />Michael W. Balfe’s Opera was first performed in London in 1842, and, musically speaking, is absolutely a product of its time, even though its narrative inspiration would seem to be an old Cervantes story, “La Gitanilla”, an “exemplary novel” of the kind made popular by the great Spanish author, and which charmed the Urbanites of earlier Centuries who took their pleasure in pastoral romances.<br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-large;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/y9gfXuQBbJ4" width="650"></iframe></span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></i></div><i><span style="font-size: x-large;"><div style="text-align: center;"><i>“Then You'll Remember Me”.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>The Aria from “The Bohemian Girl”.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Sung by: Jerry Hadley.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Available on YouTube at</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://youtu.be/y9gfXuQBbJ4"><b><span style="color: red;">YOU TUBE</span></b></a></i></div></span></i><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-DEZNWy516wQNU75fo3p8l7qeTBwVMR2oA6wUNcu4x-I4EctkjOxoFrA7GI4an9xH5yghdsw0t43tYWXc1MjFYaohskcsiW1r6Q_J148FTIVtOJBoAWHmQI2dVvymW66s2_C8JqrFudE/s1600/Then+You%2527ll+Remember+Me.+The+Aria+From+The+1843+Opera+The+Bohemian+Girl.34.png"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-DEZNWy516wQNU75fo3p8l7qeTBwVMR2oA6wUNcu4x-I4EctkjOxoFrA7GI4an9xH5yghdsw0t43tYWXc1MjFYaohskcsiW1r6Q_J148FTIVtOJBoAWHmQI2dVvymW66s2_C8JqrFudE/s1600/Then+You%2527ll+Remember+Me.+The+Aria+From+The+1843+Opera+The+Bohemian+Girl.34.png" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-FnIiuphATkSWw_oO9CedZRjwGYrStviH1Bm2cL-eRq3jJ-tSaSx8uj0HnJGGW2NeDJsFlT2wYbj-VnMNtxtbdgmEPcVjXgDNAXCe7kpa-n4TxdG0Of93ggotttlYssS9oeshCxTNpSU/s1600/Score_cover_for_%2527La_Boh%25C3%25A9mienne%2527_by_Balfe_1869_-_britishandirishworld_com4.png"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-FnIiuphATkSWw_oO9CedZRjwGYrStviH1Bm2cL-eRq3jJ-tSaSx8uj0HnJGGW2NeDJsFlT2wYbj-VnMNtxtbdgmEPcVjXgDNAXCe7kpa-n4TxdG0Of93ggotttlYssS9oeshCxTNpSU/s1600/Score_cover_for_%2527La_Boh%25C3%25A9mienne%2527_by_Balfe_1869_-_britishandirishworld_com4.png" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></i></div><i><span style="font-size: x-large;"><div style="text-align: center;"><i>The Front Cover for The Score of “La Bohémienne”, a French version </i><i>of Michael Balfe’s Opera “</i><i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bohemian_Girl">The Bohemian Girl</a>”, adapted by </i><i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Vernoy_de_Saint-Georges">Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges</a> for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Th%C3%A9%C3%A2tre_Lyrique">Théâtre Lyrique</a>, in Paris, </i><i>as performed beginning on 30 December 1869.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Date: 1869.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Source: <a href="http://www.britishandirishworld.com/">BRITISH AND IRISH WORLD</a></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Author: Not known.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>(Wikimedia Commons)</i></div></span></i></div></div></div></div>Zephyrinushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01179350648709554049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974322791812743403.post-83848763298143275712024-03-13T01:00:00.128+00:002024-03-13T01:00:00.139+00:00The Wednesday Of The Fourth Week In Lent.

It was natural to assemble near the tomb of The Doctor of The Gentiles on this day, called The Feria of The Great Scrutiny, when they held the The Examination, upon which depended the admission of Catechumens to Baptism.<br /><br />After the singing of the Introit, which announces the Baptism in which God “will pour on the Souls the water which will cleanse them from all stain,” the Catechumens were exorcised anew, were marked with The Sign of The Cross and received The Imposition of Hands. This water has already purified us.<br /><br />After having read the Epistle, or the Lessons from the Prophets, Ezechiel and Isaias, who speak of this same purification, “when Souls shall be made White as Snow,” the beginning of The Four Gospels was read to them and The Apostles’ Creed and Pater Noster explained to them. Let us love to read The Gospels, let us often recite The Credo and The Pater Noster.<br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisFLu_E0CbNCIJ9U7ud_RCemihBb47ObVcaE1dqEVc-DH15oJ9uqjyD75r18cH-AuF1ycSuKyp6RwKAvPwCDvvPKOYlfqUopozTqB0I6PkctDyMV4GupOGpDuugqaaNlxLIsrbvYCWzLDY/s1600/LENGTH1.png"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisFLu_E0CbNCIJ9U7ud_RCemihBb47ObVcaE1dqEVc-DH15oJ9uqjyD75r18cH-AuF1ycSuKyp6RwKAvPwCDvvPKOYlfqUopozTqB0I6PkctDyMV4GupOGpDuugqaaNlxLIsrbvYCWzLDY/s1600/LENGTH1.png" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></i></div><i><span style="font-size: x-large;"><div style="text-align: center;"><i>English: Basilica of Saint Paul-without-the-Walls, Rome.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>With its length of 432 feet, this Basilica ranks eleventh</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>among the largest Churches in the World.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Français: Basilique Saint-Paul-hors-les-Murs, Vatican.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Avec sa longueur de 131,66 mètres, cette Basilique </i><i>se </i><i>classe</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>au 11è </i><i>rang parmi les plus grandes églises au monde.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Photo: September 2010.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Source: Own work.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Author: <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Tango7174">Tango7174</a></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>(Wikimedia Commons)</i></div></span></i><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN-vUwL3BbNF25OZ6H40bF5cuCYcEqgCu-5rDkwM8iDj2stwUNoY74YYgZMGr0Ode1fkKIJNCggOIUmuuncQQ2OH3_KfC-95vnfRYu5xSutgacV4s6vRfapD4yenGibQnV11Pf8FZG_C8/s1600/Lenten+Station+At+The+Basilica+Of+Saint+Paul-Without-The-Walls4.png"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN-vUwL3BbNF25OZ6H40bF5cuCYcEqgCu-5rDkwM8iDj2stwUNoY74YYgZMGr0Ode1fkKIJNCggOIUmuuncQQ2OH3_KfC-95vnfRYu5xSutgacV4s6vRfapD4yenGibQnV11Pf8FZG_C8/s640/Lenten+Station+At+The+Basilica+Of+Saint+Paul-Without-The-Walls4.png" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />The Gospel tells us of the healing of the man, blind from birth, who was sent to wash himself in The Pool of Siloe.

During the 4th-Century A.D., Saint Paul’s remains, excluding the head, were moved into a Sarcophagus (according to Church Tradition, the head rests at <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/4974322791812743403/7593813684337480950#">The Lateran</a>).<br /><br />Saint Paul’s tomb is below a marble tombstone in the Basilica’s Crypt, at 1.3 metres (4.5 ft) below the Altar. The tombstone bears the Latin inscription “PAULO APOSTOLO MART” (“to Paul the Apostle and Martyr”). The inscribed portion of the tombstone has three holes, two square and one circular. The circular hole is connected to the tomb by a pipeline, reflecting the Roman custom of pouring perfumes inside the Sarcophagus, or to the practice of providing the bones of the dead with libations.<br /><br />The discovery of the Sarcophagus is mentioned in the chronicle of the Benedictine Monastery attached to the Basilica, in regard to the 19th-Century rebuilding. Unlike other Sarcophagi found at that time, this was not mentioned in the excavation papers.<br /><br />On 6 December 2006, it was announced that Vatican archæologists had confirmed the presence of a White Marble <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/4974322791812743403/7593813684337480950#">Sarcophagus</a> beneath the Altar, perhaps containing the remains of the Apostle. A Press Conference, held on 11 December 2006, gave more details of the excavation, which lasted from 2002 to 2006, and which had been initiated after Pilgrims to the Basilica expressed disappointment that the Apostle’s tomb could not be visited or touched during the Jubilee Year of 2000. The Sarcophagus was not extracted from its position, so that only one of its two narrow sides is visible.</span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQVUWXcT7ylvvcdKZtBpzpdfAl0B1dZFZNAgOJV_l-vIN97Cnz4r4LaGjwe5LeA755zKBaN9f9eGmYUKyytuwVqhXnasxqyfuK0oFWThkPW-pApf8JKzFATnl-MoRcDt3B-Icr379_fCeE/s1600/BENEDICT1.png"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQVUWXcT7ylvvcdKZtBpzpdfAl0B1dZFZNAgOJV_l-vIN97Cnz4r4LaGjwe5LeA755zKBaN9f9eGmYUKyytuwVqhXnasxqyfuK0oFWThkPW-pApf8JKzFATnl-MoRcDt3B-Icr379_fCeE/s1600/BENEDICT1.png" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></i></div><i><span style="font-size: x-large;"><div style="text-align: center;"><i>English: Saint Benedict Chapel,</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Basilica of Saint Paul-without-the-Walls.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Italiano: Basilica di San Paolo Fuori le Mura - </i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>capella di san Benedetto.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Polski: Bazylika św.

With the bone fragments, archaeologists discovered some grains of incense, and pieces of Purple Linen with Gold Sequins and Blue Linen Textiles.<br /><br />A curved line of bricks, indicating the outline of the Apse of the Constantinian Basilica, was discovered immediately to the West of the Sarcophagus, showing that the original Basilica had its entrance to the East, like Saint Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican. The larger 386 A.D. Basilica, that replaced it, had the Via Ostiense (the road to Ostia) to The East and so was extended Westward, towards the River Tiber, changing the orientation diametrically.</span></div></div>Zephyrinushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01179350648709554049noreply@blogger.com0
