In Rome, there is a tradition of visiting seven ‘Altars of Repose’ on Maundy Thursday. Different Churches decorate these in their own way. These are the seven Churches we visited this evening after the Mass of the Last Supper.
The Pantheon (officially called ‘St. Mary and the Martyrs’)
Pontificia Parrocchia Sant’Anna
The Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
The Church of the Holy Spirit in Saxony
Sant’Agnese in Agone
Cappella Pubblica “Santa Monica”
Church of St Salvatore in Lauro
Sant’Agnese in Agone

Heavens, Maryla, that altar at Sant’Agnese in Agone is show-stopping. What does the main altar look like?

Isn’t it just, golden?
I don’t recall what the main altar looks like – when you see so many breath-takingly beautiful churches in a short space of time it all becomes a bit of a blur ( being on the wrong side of 50 doesn’t help either ;-))
Having said that, we may drop into Sant’Agnese again during the next few days, and if so, I’ll get Phil to take a photo for you.
I hope you have a blessed and holy Easter!
