The Scala Sancta (English: Holy Stairs, Italian: Scala Santa) are a set of 28 white marble steps that are Roman Catholic relics located in an edifice on extraterritorial property of the Holy See in Rome, Italy proximate to the Archbasilica of Saint John in Laterano.[1] Officially, the edifice is titled the Pontifical Sanctuary of the Holy Stairs (Pontificio Santuario della Scala Santa), and incorporates part of the old Papal Lateran Palace. Replica stairs flank the original staircase, which may only be climbed on one's knees. The Holy Stairs lead to the Church of Saint Lawrence in Palatio ad Sancta Sanctorum (Chiesa di San Lorenzo in Palatio ad Sancta Sanctorum) or simply the Sancta Sanctorum (English: Holy of Holies), which was the personal chapel of the early Popes.
According to Roman Catholic tradition, the Holy Stairs are the steps leading up to the praetorium of Pontius Pilate in Jerusalem on which Jesus Christ stepped on his way to trial during his Passion. The Stairs reputedly were brought to Rome by Saint Helena in the fourth century. For centuries, the Scala Sancta has attracted Christian pilgrims who wish to honour the Passion of Jesus Christ. Since the early 1700s, the Holy Stairs have been encased in wood for protection, but have been briefly exposed in 2019 following restoration work.[2]
According to Roman Catholic tradition, the Holy Stairs are the steps leading up to the praetorium of Pontius Pilate in Jerusalem on which Jesus Christ stepped on his way to trial during his Passion.[3]
Medieval legends claim that Saint Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine the Great, brought the Holy Stairs from Jerusalem to Rome circa AD 326.[4] In the Middle Ages, they were known as Scala Pilati (Stairs of Pilate). From old plans it appears that they led to a corridor of the Lateran Palace, near the Chapel of Saint Sylvester, and were covered with a special roof. In 1589, Pope Sixtus V had the Papal Lateran Palace, then in ruins, demolished to make way for the construction of a new one. He ordered the Holy Stairs be reconstructed in their present location, before the Sancta Sanctorum (Holy of Holies), named for the many precious relics preserved there. The chapel also houses an icon of Christ Pantocrator, known as the Uronica, that was supposedly begun by Saint Luke and finished by an angel. This celebrated icon of Santissimi Salvatore Acheiropoieton (not made by human hands), on certain occasions, used to be carried through Rome in procession.[5]
The Scala Sancta may only be ascended on the knees. For common use, the staircase is flanked by four additional staircases, two on each side, constructed circa 1589.[6] In 1724, Pope Benedict XIII covered the marble stairs in wood for their protection, since the marble had been significantly worn away by the many pilgrims ascending the stairs over time. The stairs remained covered until 2019, when they were briefly exposed during a restoration.[2]
The decoration of the Scala Santa was one of the major renovations of the pontificate of Pope Sixtus V, led by Cesare Nebbia and Giovanni Guerra and occupying a crew of artists to decorate frescoes including Giovanni Baglione, Giacomo Stella, Giovanni Battista Pozzo, Paris Nogari, Prospero Orsi, Ferraù Fenzoni, Paul Bril, Paulo Guidotti, Giovanni Battista Ricci, Cesare Torelli, Antonio Vivarini, Andrea Lilio, Cesare and Vincenzo Conti, Baldassare Croce, Ventura Salimbeni, and Antonio Scalvati. Numerous preliminary drawings by Nebbia for these frescoes are extant, though it is not known with certainty who painted each fresco.
A major restoration was completed in 2007 and funded largely by the Getty Foundation.[3] In early 2018, a restoration of the frescoes began, causing the Scala Sancta to be closed for over a year. During this restoration, the protective wood covering of the stairs was also removed. When the stairs were reopened on 11 April 2019, pilgrims were permitted to ascend the exposed marble stairs on their knees for the first time in almost 300 years.[2]
Martin Luther climbed the steps on his knees in 1510. As he did so, he repeated the Our Father on each step. It was said, by doing this work one could redeem a soul from purgatory. But when Luther arrived at the top he could not suppress his doubt, Who knows whether this is true?[10]
Charles Dickens, after visiting the Scala Sancta in 1845, wrote: I never, in my life, saw anything at once so ridiculous and so unpleasant as this sight. He described the scene of pilgrims ascending the staircase on their knees as a dangerous reliance on outward observances.[3]

From Wikipedia
The Sancta Sanctorum (Italian: Chiesa di San Lorenzo in Palatio ad Sancta Sanctorum) is a Roman Catholic chapel entered via the Scala Sancta (Holy Staircase) of the Lateran Palace in Rome. It was the original private chapel of the papacy before it moved to Avignon, and later to the Vatican Palace. The chapel is the only building from the old Lateran Palace that was not destroyed during its reconstruction.
The chapel acquired the Sancta Sanctorum sometime in the ninth century.[1] The spelling is Sancta, the neuter plural form of the Latin adjective holy: this is a reference to the multiple relics preserved there (i.e. the most holy things) and to the Holy of Holies in Jerusalem, traditionally called in Latin both sanctum sanctorum (the singular form) or sancta sanctorum.
The founder of the chapel is unknown. It was originally dedicated to Saint Lawrence, and served as the pope's private oratory until the Renaissance. It is located at the top of the Scala Sancta, (Holy Stairs). The first mention of the chapel is found in the Liber Pontificalis, during the tenure of Pope Stephen III (†772).
It formed part of the Lateran Palace, headquarters of the public offices of the papal court throughout the Middle Ages. Gregory IV (†844) had a private apartment built near the chapel to allow him to pray there.[1] It later became part of the Palace and Holy Steps complex commissioned by Sixtus V in 1586.[2]
The chapel contains a cypress wood reliquary box, placed under the altar by Pope Leo III (†816). It supposedly houses the bones of at least 13 saints (whereof the chapel derives the name holy of holies). The reliquary box itself is taken to represent the Ark of the Covenant in Solomon's Temple.
Over the course of time, other relics were added, including the cloisonné enameled cross commissioned by Paschal I (†824).[2]
The opus sectile floor dates from 1278. This style of intarsiated pavement was created in the 12th century by the Cosmati family of stonecutters and widely copied throughout Rome in the 13th century.
The chapel also houses an icon of Christ Pantocrator, known as the Veronica, that was supposedly begun by Saint Luke and finished by an angel. It belongs to a class of icons known as acheiropoieta, or images not made by human hands, the most famous of which is the image of Christ’s face that miraculously imprinted itself on the sudarium of Veronica.[3]

There is no pilgrim who has come to Rome without desiring to visit the Pontifical Sanctuary of the Holy Stairs. It is one of the most important and renowned sanctuaries in the Roman Catholic Church. Situated near the Basilica of Saint John Lateran, the Sanctuary houses the Sancta Sanctorum, recognized as the first private Papal chapel.
The sanctuary gets its name from the 28 marble steps of the Holy Stairs.
According to an ancient Christian tradition, Saint Helena (†335), the mother of Constantine, had the stairs transported from Pontius Pilate’s palace in Jerusalem to Rome. It is believed that Jesus climbed these stairs several times the day he was sentenced to death, thus, they are known as the “Scala Pilati” or “Scala Sancta” (the Holy Stairs or Pilate’s Stairs). The first written testimonies to this renowned memory of the Passion are found in a passage from the Liber Pontificalis dating from the time of Sergius II (844-847) and in a Papal Bull issued by Pope Pascal II (1099-1119).
It is also known that the stairs were originally placed in the complex of the Lateran Palaces (Patriarchium), the ancient seat of the Papacy. Under the supervision of Sixtus V in 1589, the stairs were placed in front of the Sancta Sanctorum, creating the core of the Sanctuary that can be seen today. The Sanctuary was restored by Pius IX (1846-78) and an adjoining convent was built and entrusted to the Passionist Fathers on February 24, 1853.
The Scala Sancta are holy because they are said to be the stairs that Jesus climbed on his way to his trial before Pontius Pilate (or the events that are also known as the Passion of Christ).
The stairs were brought to Rome by Saint Helena in the 4th century.
Today, the 28 steps are owned by the Vatican and free to visit. They are covered in wood to protect the marble. But in April 2019, they were uncovered following a lengthy restoration, with the bare marble showing through for 60 days.
This seems like the appropriate time to let you know that I have a deep respect for faith, but that I am not religious myself.
A Baroque Masterpiece. The Royal Church of San Lorenzo, Turin, Italy
Un capolavoro di stile barocco in Italia. La Chiesa Reale di San Lorenzo, Torino
The Royal Church of Saint Lawrence (Italian: Real Chiesa di San Lorenzo) is a Baroque-style church in Turin, it is close to the Royal Palace of Turin. The church that stands today was designed and built by Guarino Guarini during 1668-1687.
History
The Duke Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoy was one of the leaders of the Hapsburg armies of his cousin Philip II of Spain; they decisively defeated the French armies in the Battle of Saint-Quentin in Northern France on 10 August 1557, the Feast of St. Lawrence (San Lorenzo), which affected the outcome of the Treaty of Cateau-Cambrésis; in which, the Savoy, including Turin, was returned to the rule of the mercenary duke. That the Battle occurred on the Saint's feast instigated Phillip's denomination and design of the palace of El Escorial. Emmanuel Philibert, on his return to Turin in 1562, renovated the old ducal chapel of Santa Maria ad Presepae, which is still present near the entrance, and erected this church dedicated to St. Lawrence. Construction of the contemporary church began in 1634.
The architect Guarino Guarini was a great innovator in Baroque principles first developed by the great Roman Baroque architect Francesco Borromini, in particular the play with optical effects and organic deconstruction of the classical orders and principles of column and entablature. However, in San Lorenzo Guarini took these further. The ground plan is a kind of square which becomes an octagon at the level of the entablatures above the columns only to change again to become a Greek cross at the level of the pendentives of the vaults. Again, the base of the dome is circular in plan yet the lantern above it octagonal. The dome itself is supported by eight ribs forming a lattice similar to those found in mosques and Romanesque churches in Spain. To this superposition of - by the standards of convention - contradictory central plans is added an elliptical choir. The high altar, separated from the nave by a convex and concave archway receives natural light from a hidden dome, devices drawn from the other key Roman Baroque architect Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

Rome, The Sancta Sanctorum Chapel (manortiz)
The Sancta Sanctorum chapel (Italian: Chiesa di San Lorenzo in Palatio ad Sancta Sanctorum) is a side chapel from the sancta scala (holy staircase) of the Lateran Palace, Rome. The artwork of the Sancta Sanctorum in Rome was the basis for the art at Assisi.The spelling is sancta, the neuter plural form of the Latin adjective holy: this is a reference to the multiple relics preserved there (the most holy things) and to the Holy of Holies in Jerusalem, traditionally called in Latin both Sanctum sanctorum (the singular form) or Sancta sanctorum.
La chiesa si trova all'interno del complesso edilizio che conserva la Scala Santa presso la basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano. In origine questo palazzo era il palazzo patriarcale, sede del vescovo di Roma, e la chiesa era la cappella privata del pontefice: oggi essa è ciò che resta dell'antico palazzo patriarcale. La più antica menzione della chiesa si trova nella biografia di papa Stefano III (768-772); essa fu restaurata da Onorio III (1216-1227) e ricostruita da Niccolò III (nel 1278); nel XVI secolo papa Sisto V fece traslocare qui la Scala Santa, che ora serve da accesso alla chiesa.
La chiesa è conosciuta anche come Sancta Sanctorum (lett. «le cose sante tra le sante»), nome che rievoca quella parte del tempio di Gerusalemme ove era custodita l'Arca dell'Alleanza, e questo titolo gli deriva dal fatto che in essa erano custodite le più preziose reliquie cristiane, tra cui il prepuzio di Gesù bambino, i suoi sandali, il divano su cui assistette all'ultima cena, il bastone con cui fu percosso il suo capo coronato di spine, le teste dei santi Pietro e Paolo, e molte altre. Molte di queste reliquie sono oggi scomparse o conservate altrove.
Internamente la chiesa è stata decorata dai Cosmati, secondo un'iscrizione interna: Magister Cosmatus fecit hoc opus.
Gli affreschi che si trovano sulla parte alta della cappella e sulla volta sono del XIII secolo. Nelle vele sono rappresentati i quattro evangelisti, sulla parete sopra l'altare ai fianchi della finestra a sinistra è raffigurato Niccolò III inginocchiato che offre il modellino della cappella con a lato i santi Pietro e Paolo, a destra il Cristo in trono con due angeli. A destra dell'ingresso sono raffigurate il martirio di san Pietro e san Paolo, di fronte all'altare, la Lapidazione di Santo Stefano e il Martirio di San Lorenzo, la Decapitazione di Sant'Agnese e il Martirio di San Nicola.
Alla base degli affreschi è presente una loggia denominata dei santi realizzata sotto il pontificato di Sisto V, probabilmente tra il giugno e luglio 1590 sotto la direzione dei pittori Cesare Nebbia e Giovanni Guerra a cui hanno preso parte molti artisti attivi a Roma in quel periodo[1].
L'altare conserva un'antichissima immagine di Gesù Redentore detta acheropita, cioè non dipinta da mano umana: la tradizione infatti narra che l'icona fu dipinta dall'evangelista Luca aiutato da un angelo. Questa immagine era molto venerata fin dal pontificato di Stefano II, il quale ordinò una processione per la città con la sacra immagine per implorare l'aiuto divino contro i Longobardi condotti da Astolfo. Nel XIII secolo la tavola fu adornata da una lamina d'argento per opera di papa Innocenzo III. Non si conosce esattamente l'origine di questa immagine: l'Armellini propone un'origine bizantina in epoca della lotta iconoclasta (VIII secolo).
Sopra l'altare vi è l'iscrizione: Non est in toto sanctior orbe locus (non esiste al mondo luogo più santo di questo).

Santuario della Scala Santa (HD)
Visita quaresimale al Santuario della Scala Santa in Roma adiacente alla basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano.
Questa scala come la tradizione tramanda è la stessa salita più volte da Gesù per raggiungere l'aula del pretorio dove avrebbe subito l'interrogatorio di Ponzio Pilato prima della crocifissione, trasportata a Roma da Sant'Elena nel 326, la madre di Costantino,
Nel 1589, durante il pontificato di Sisto V, la Scala Santa fu traslocata dal Palazzo Laterano, nel quale si trovava, al Sancta Sanctorum, sul lato sinistro della piazza di San Giovanni in Laterano. I ventotto gradini che la compongono furono messi in opera cominciando dall'alto, perché non fossero calpestati dai muratori, ma toccati solamente dalle ginocchia dei fedeli oranti.
Più tardi, sotto papa Innocenzo VIII, i gradini furono coperti con tavole di noce, per impedirne l'usura. Ancor oggi molti fedeli salgono in ginocchio tutta la scala, pregando e chiedendo grazie.
Salire in ginocchio è un pio esercizio d'amore per venerazione alla Passione di Gesù.
Secondo il più recente decreto della S. Penitenzeria, “tutti i fedeli che, meditando la Passione di Gesù Cristo, saliranno la Scala Santa o una delle due scale laterali, possono acquistare:
• L’indulgenza plenaria ogni venerdì del tempo di Quaresima e di Passione e in un giorno qualunque dell'anno, scelto dallo stesso fedele, se si saranno confessati e avranno ricevuto la comunione e avranno inoltre recitato una preghiera (anche un Pater, Ave e Gloria) secondo l'intenzione del Sommo Pontefice.
• L'indulgenza parziale ogni giorno dell'anno, se compiranno questa pia pratica con cuore contrito”.

Chapel Of San Zenone Mosaic Basilica di Santa Prassede, Rome, Sacello san Zenone
L'oratorio venne eretto da papa Pasquale I (IX secolo) come sacello funerario per la madre Teodora; fu dedicato al martire romano Zenone, di cui si conosce ben poco, se non il fatto che le sue spoglie riposano in questa cappella, trasportate al tempo di papa Pasquale dalle catacombe di Pretestato.
Esso rappresenta uno tra i più preziosi documenti dell'arte bizantina a Roma: infatti l'intero sacello è completamente ricoperto di mosaici di stile bizantino.
