On Sunday, October 12th, Rome will be waiting for the Pope to open the feast day for the Canonization of Blessed people, the final step in the canonization of Saints: the religious ceremony will start at 10 am in Piazza S.Pietro.
In Roman Catholic Church, this ceremony of Canonization represents the official declaration, stated by the Pope, through which a dead person becomes a saint: he or she is also allowed to be worshipped by the faithfuls due to this new status of holiness.
On the 12th of October, Pope Benedict XVI will declare saint the following people:
- Gaetano Errico
- Maria Bernarda Bütler
- Alfonsa dell’Immacolata Concezione (Anna Muttathupadathu)
- Narcisa di Gesù Martillo Morán
This touching ceremony represents the perfect opportunity to visit the magnificent St. Peter’s Basilica, where you can see the splendid cupola made by Michelangelo, but also the whole Vatican City, which is nowadays one the most favourite destinations for tourists and pilgrims, looking for great pieces of art and spiritual relief.
Vatican City is eager to offer to its visitors guided tours through its interesting spaces: among these, the Sistine Chapel, frescoed by Michelangelo, but also the Logge Vaticane, decorated by Raphael, and the Papal Apartments, where we can see an enormous amount of works of art, created by artists such as Beato Angelico.
Castel Sant’Angelo, also known as Mausoleum of Hadrian, is directly linked to St. Peter’s Basilica through Passetto di Borgo, a covered and fortified path. It was originally built to be a mausoleum for the Emperor Hadrian and his family, but later on it became a fortress and obtained its new name, Castel Sant’Angelo, because of a statue representing the archangel Michael, which stands on top of the building.
If you wish to enjoy a relaxing and interesting pilgrimage in Rome, now you can choose a pleasant and comfortable accommodation which is also near your principal object of interest: book here an hotel in Rome in the surroundings of Vatican City!
