Holy Stairs, believed to have been climbed by Jesus prior to crucifixion, unveiled in Rome.
Before Thursday's unveiling ceremony, the Vatican Museum restorers described how moving it was to uncover the original stairs, which contain three small bronze crosses embedded in the marble and spots believed to be stained by Jesus’ blood.
The Cardinal Vicar of Rome, Angelo De Donatis, blesses the restored Holy Stairs , which according to Catholic Church is the stair on which Jesus Christ stepped leading on his way to the crucifixion, in Rome, Thursday, April 11, 2019. The restoration of the entire sanctuary, not just the stairs, started six years ago and should be completed by summer 2020. Over 18,000 square feet of dingy-looking frescoes that decorate the stairs and the chapels in the building were carefully cleaned of grime to reveal them in their original splendor. Restorers uncovered stories of devotion in the ancient graffiti they found on the frescoes, like the slave who came to give thanks for being free of his Turkish master.
