Jacob created Crux Stationalis as a social media apostolate to share a very particular tradition from the Eternal City. Every year for Lent, the Diocese of Rome organizes a pilgrimage itinerary, a tradition that goes back to Pope Saint Gregory the Great. The pilgrimage consists of going from one Roman Station Church to the next for every day of Lent and Easter Week. The devotion is particularly centered around devotion to the early Christian martyrs - and the pilgrimage route is primarily based on the desire to visit the tombs of the martyrs. It is where the tradition of the Litany of the Saints came from.
Crux Stationalis is a Latin term meaning “Station Cross.” Centuries ago, the different neighborhoods of Rome would gather behind their own particular processional Cross, a Crux Stationalis, and the procession would begin from one church and, with the Pope and clergy of Rome, would proceed to the Roman Station Church for that particular day of Lent. Jacob at Crux Stationalis creates a video every day for each Roman Station Church ( / @cruxstationalis , and he goes live and creates beautiful short video reels for his 125,000 followers on Instagram. Social media allows Catholics from around the world to participate in some way in this local tradition of the Church of Rome. He posts photos at www.RomanStationChurch.com and you can find him on Facebook and Instagram at @cruxstationalis .
Always great to hear and learn about our beloved traditions. "The blood of the martyrs is the seed of our church" Tertullion . Thank you 🙏
While I was a little sad we didn’t visit Lateran today, I know we’ll come back to it soon. This was SUCH a good lesson about the history of the tradition of the Roman Station Churches. I’m very glad it was revived 😊🙏🏻
Also nice to see a procession without everyone wearing face diapers.
Thank you so much for keeping these traditions in our modern age.
certainly!!! thank you for following along! Please share the video and the channel with your family and friends! It is really a tradition that belongs to all of us!!!!!
Beautiful
Thanks for watching today’s Video. I share with you the history of the Roman Station Churches and how the tradition developed in Rome already from the 3rd century.
Don’t worry! We I’ll visit the Lateran during Lent again and I give you more specific history of the Lateran in this 1700th anniversary of the consecration of the Cathedral of Rome.
Deo Gratias!
I see my Holy Sep and Constantian confreres. Deos lo vult!
WOW! 5k views on this video!!! I love that so much!!!
What’s with the “stick” in the thumbnail photo?
It's a penitential wand. The Major Penitentiary would sit in that throne in St. Peter's and this public act would be done at St. John Lateran. One can see the throne still on the Gospel side in the middle side aisle.
No mention of The Lateran
We return to the Lateran multiple times during the year.

“The cathedral of Rome and therefore the cathedral of the World?” The Eastern Orthodox and Western Protestant churches would I presume have other ideas. 😁 I’ve not actually visited this church, however the interior shown here is very different from photos I’ve seen which show a Baroque Nave. Are there two buildings on this site?
Hi... the primacy of the Papacy is certainly a historical claim and a discourse that takes on many flavors...
As explained in the introduction: before heading to the Lateran (which in this video precludes a visit to the interior, because we return to the Lateran during the course of Lent), I will show you moments from the stational liturgies from the first days of Lent.
I do this to give more history and explanation of the work here at Crux Stationalis and to allow the viewers of the channel to see more of the daily experience in going to visit these Stational Churches with the Accademia Pontificia Cultorum Martyrum.
What church was this? NOT the Lateran.
See his reply to a similar comment above
@@toddvoss52 His reply does not answer the question about which church is shown on the video, does it?
@@toddvoss52 It took some online searching, but I found it: San Giorgio in Velabro. It is the stational church for the Thursday after Ash Wednesday.
The intro explains that I begin at St. John Lateran and then show highlights of the first days of the Roman Station Church liturgy.
Everyone asks for history and explanation of “Crux Stationalis” - I have to present this information in some way.
We return to the Lateran later on in Lent.
In this video: we begin at the Lateran, then San Giorgio, the Santi Giovanni e Paolo, then Sant’Agostino.
I’m a one man team over here. The whole series certainly gives my experience and the history and tradition of the Roman Station Churches.
I’m limited by 24 hours in a day, academics, other work, access to churches, the 8-10 hours it takes to edit and export and upload a video.
Thanks for watching! And I hope you continue along throughout Lent to experience the full journey of the Lenten Roman Station Churches.
