Jesus had promised James and John, sons of Zebedee, that they should drink the Chalice of His Passion, so as to participate in the triumph of His Resurrection (Gospel).

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 Saturday.

Mass: Protexisti.
Creed: Is said.
Preface: Of The Apostles.
