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. 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. Since a thorough restoration was ordained in the 16th-Century by Saint Charles Borromeo, the Church is called “San Martino ai San Monti”.

The Epistle and Gospel announce to us the great Mystery of The Resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is drawing nigh, and in the Celebration of which, at Easter, Public Penitents participated. The Sunamite woman and the widow of Naim had lost their sons. Eliseus, who is a figure of Jesus, raises the first to life and Christ gives back the second to his mother.

San Martino ai Monti, also known as Santi Silvestro e Martino ai Monti - Titolo Equizio, is a Basilica Church in Rome, in the Rione Monti neighbourhood of Rome.
The Basilica was Founded by Pope Saint Sylvester I, over land donated by one, Equitius (hence the name of Titulus Equitii), in the 4th-Century A.D. At the beginning, it was an Oratory devoted to all The Martyrs. It is known that a Preparation Meeting for The Council of Nicaea was held here in 324 A.D.

In 500 A.D, the Church was rebuilt and Dedicated to Saints Martin of Tours and Pope Saint Sylvester I by Pope Symmachus. On this occasion, the Church was elevated and the first Oratory became subterranean.

He was born on Sardinia, the son of Fortunatus; Jeffrey Richards notes that he was born a pagan, and "perhaps the rankest outsider" of all the Ostrogothic Popes, most of whom were members of aristocratic families. Pope Saint Symmachus was Baptised in Rome, where he became Arch-Deacon of The Church under Pope Anastasius II.

The Church is served by The Order of Carmelites (O.Carm. - Ancient Observance). It was granted to them in 1299 by Pope Boniface VIII; their ownership was confirmed in 1559. The Church is the resting place of Blessed Angelo Paoli, O.Carm. (1642–1720), who was revered throughout Rome for his Service to The Poor; he was Beatified on 25 April 2010.

Further transformations were executed in the 17th-Century by Filippo Gagliardi. In the Mid-17th-Century, a series of frescoes, architectural additions, and Altarpieces were commissioned, including landscape and architectural frescoes, of typically Biblical scenes, by Gaspar Dughet and Galgliardi.

The Interior has three Naves with ancient Columns. A Votive Lamp, made in Silver Sheet, is housed in The Sacristy; it was believed to be Pope Saint Sylvester I's Tiara. Under The High Altar are preserved the Relics of Saints Artemius, Paulina and Sisinnius, brought here from the Catacomb of Priscilla. A mosaic, portraying The Madonna with Pope Saint Sylvester I, is from the 6th-Century A.D.
