The Emperor Domitian caused John to be brought to Rome and condemned him to be plunged into a cauldron of boiling oil.
But Saint John, by a striking miracle, came forth from this torment more healthy and vigorous than before. A Sanctuary was built on this spot near The Latin Gate and Dedicated to the Holy Apostle. There is held The Station on Passion Sunday.
