Rome: St John Lateran & Holy Steps Catholic Tour
Overview
Visit St John Lateran, the Cathedral of Rome and highest-ranking church in the Catholic world, on a one-hour Catholic pilgrimage. Venerate the reliquaries of the heads of Sts Peter and Paul and part of the table traditionally associated with the Last Supper. Continue to the Holy Steps, traditionally brought from Pontius Pilate’s praetorium in Jerusalem, and glimpse the Sancta Sanctorum with its revered image of Christ said to have been begun by St Luke and completed by angels. An expert Catholic guide explains the sacred history, relics and enduring pilgrimage significance of these sites. The basilica’s Holy Door is opened during Jubilee years and is anticipated to open again for the Jubilee of Redemption in 2033.
