Publisher's Summary

In recent decades, Americans in Rome have revived an ancient Christian custom: the daily pilgrimage to dozens of Rome's most striking churches during Lent and Easter Week. Along this historical and spiritual pathway, pilgrims encounter hidden artistic wonders and treasured Christian commentaries while also confronting the great mysteries of the Christian faith through a program of biblical and early Christian readings. The itinerary of the Roman station church pilgrimage offers Christians an opportunity to reflect on their religion and ponder the quality of their discipleship.

In Roman Pilgrimage, best-selling theologian George Weigel, art historian Elizabeth Lev, and photographer Stephen Weigel guide listeners along this religious and aesthetic journey with gorgeous photographs and revealing essays on the pilgrimage's art, architecture, and liturgies.

A reminder of the call for renewal and conversion during each Lenten season, Roman Pilgrimage reflects on the deepest truths of Christianity and the exquisite beauty of the station churches of Rome.

Beautiful book for Lent!

Thus is the second year I have listened to this book daily during Lent. I borrowed the book from the library and sometimes follow along or look up photos of the Station church of the day on the internet. The choice of the reader is a bit disappointing. Although he has a great voice, he is clearly not Catholic as he mispronounces many words every Catholic would know and had to go back and rerecord them. It’s a bit jarring at times to have one word in a sentence overdubbed. However, overall I really have found this book worthwhile, especially during Covid, when we are isolated, cannot attend Mass and travelling to Rome might not be a possibility for a long time, It has helped me feel connected.
