LA BASILICA DI SANTA SABINA, ROMA
In 2021 for Lent, Jacob Stein 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 comes 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 .
We are so excited to begin this daily journey here on UA-cam at the start of Lent 2024 as we all journey to the celebration of Easter!

Thank you, we much appreciate you making it possible for us to visit these ancient churches!
Absolutely masterful storytelling and a perfect start to this great season. A blessed Lent to all!
Very compelling video! 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Did you share this compelling video with your family and friends?
Grateful for these informative and devotional videos and a wonderful start to Lent.
Beautiful video. Excellent information about this glorious church. A wonderful way to start the Lenten season. A blessed Lenten season to all.❤
Beautiful, Jacob!
Serendipity has struck my heart, I am so happy to find your channel! I love Saint Sabina in her moral courage. I also love the name however 3 boys later, I still do not have a Sabina! Nevertheless I hope to visit her church in Rome one day, if not I have your awesome video to quench my thirst for traveling in Italy and seeing all the beautiful churches. God bless you Jacob Stein, thank you for promoting Jesus' awesomeness in His amazing churches!
Excelente 👏👏
All I can say is WOW! What a start to this year’s Roman Station Tour. The apse at 1:12 and the dome featuring St Catherine of Siena at 3:55 were absolutely brilliant. I was curious who the people were in the circular portraits above the “half apse” (I’ve forgotten the proper term) at 1:30 and 2:29. I felt like I was transported back in time during the video and enjoyed it so much. I know this is a lot of work, but I’m so glad to see these places and learn more about our faith. 🙏🏻❤️
Wow! Tks so much for that! God bless you!
Pace e bene a tutti!
Bravo!
Was here a few weeks ago. Be sure to check the website for hours.
Santa Sabina is not originally the christian temple. Santa Sabina originally must be the shrine of Isis and Osiris, because either mosaic depictions of mirrors on it walls (the symbol of Isis) or special orientation of windows looking towards the sunset in the summer solstice from one side and sunrise in the winter solstice from another side (the dates of celebrations of Isis and of Osiris respectively).
Thanks for your comment
@@cruxstationalis this building was the part of former large city villa (villa urbana) and represented oecus - the banquet hall, in which isido-osirian banquets and mysteries took place. But this oecus would be turned to the christian church just in 112 year a.d. as the result of great church reform, according to which the titulus churches were established. Sabina was owner of this villa urbana and she took part in this reform hosting a Christian community on her property.
