Santi Giovanni E Paolo (013) Santi Giovanni e Paolo Facade of the basilica. Santi Giovanni e Paolo is an ancient basilica church in Rome, located on the west slope of the Celian Hill. It is also called Santi Giovanni e Paolo al Celio or referred to as SS Giovanni e Paolo. The church is dedicated to two officers in the army under Julian the Apostate, who suffered martyrdom under Apronianus, prefect of Rome A. D. 362. Beneath the church, within its walls, and in the immediate vicinity, are the remains of 2nd and 3rd century AD buildings. One of these streets, the Clivus Scauri, has survived and runs along the southern flank of the church, passing San Gregorio in Magno down to the ancient Via Triumphalis. History: John and Paul were officers at the Imperial Court in the service of Constantia (+360), daughter of Constantine (306-337). Tradition says that the brothers had held high positions in Constantinople but left there and returned to their Roman home on the Coelian Hill when asked to serve Julian the Apostate (emperor 331-363) in the same capacity. Julian ordered them to be put to the usual trial of the faith, namely, to renounce their God in favor of the pagan deities. However, because of their great popularity and nobility, they were not martyred publicly; instead, they were beheaded secret in their palace on June 26, 362. Julian himself, ironically, was brutally killed exactly one year later, on the very same day. The original sanctuary, founded in 398 by the senator Byzantius and his son, St. Pammachius (a friend of St. Jerome), was built directly over the saints’ original house, which had been filled in with rubble and earth. The first church was known as Titulus Bizantiis after Senator Byzantius. His son Pammachius built a basilica on the site, which was known as Titulus Pammachii and was one of the first parish churches in Rome. The synod listing from 499 uses this name. An inscription from the 5th century names Pammachius as the founder. He was a personal friend of St Jerome, and after several years of public service, as a senator like his father had been, he gave his money to the poor and retired to a life of seclusion and prayer; undoubtedly a result of St Jerome's influence. The synod listing of 595 also mentions the church, but by this time it is known as SS. Johanis e Pauli. (013) The church was damaged during the sack by Alaric I (410) and because of an earthquake (442) restored by Pope Leo I (440-461) and Pope Hadrian (772-795). This ancient basilica was practically demolished by the Norman raider, Robert Guiscard, in 1084. Paschal II (1099-1118) started restoring it, and this project was completed c. 1150 by Giovanni Cardinal Conti de Sutri. Adrian IV (1154-1159), the only English Pope, made considerable improvements, adding the eight ancient granite columns to the portico, the Romanesque apse and campanile, and the cosmatesque pavement. The church was restored and altered 1715-1718 under Fabrizio Cardinal Paolucci, in the late Baroque style. In the late 1850s, the sacristy was added, as well as a large chapel dedicated to St. Paul of the Cross, founder of the Passionist order which serves the basilica. The remains of the saints' house was revealed in the archeological excavations in the 19th century (see below). The last major restoration took place in the 20th century, when Francis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York, titular of the church from 1946 to 1967, got financial support from Joseph Kennedy to restore the façade and to carry out new excavations. During this time the façade was returned to its medieval appearance. The interior was also restored; among the additions were chandeliers that had previously hung in the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York. Pope Nicholas V consigned the church to the care of the Congregation of Jesuati, founded by John Colombini of Sienna. On the suppression of the Order, Card. Norfolk, an Englishman, obtained it from Clement X. for the Irish Dominicans, who resided there until the pontificate of Innocent XII. (1691-1700); and finally it has been served by the Passionist fathers, who were installed here in the late 18th century. Santi Giovanni e Paolo was one of the original twenty-five station churches in Rome. In 1929, Eugenio Pacelli became the titular of this church. He was elected pope in 1939, taking the name Pius XII. The Cardinal Priest of the Titulus Ss. Ioannis et Pauli is Edward Egan. He was appointed on February 21, 2001. Among previous Cardinal Priests of this Title are 2 who became Pope: Pope Honorius III (Cencio Savelli, elevated to cardinal in 1198) and Pope Pius XII (Eugenio Pacelli, elevated to cardinal in 1929). Since Francis Cardinal Spellman was elevated to Cardinal Priest of Ss. Ioannis et Pauli in 1946, the titulus has been held by the Archbishop of New York. Exterior: The 12th century façade was restored by Cardinal Spellman. The portico, with eight ancient columns, six of red granite and two of white marble, is from 1158, and was built on orders from Pope Hadrian IV. On the architrave, an inscription mentions Cardinal Conti de Sutri who had completed the restoration a few years earlier. The gallery above the architrave was constructed c. 1216, and has some later modifications. The Romanesque campanile, c.1150, rests on travertine from the Temple of Claudius. The plates among the bricks on the walls of the bell tower are copies of Moorish ceramic tiles with Arabic lettering. The originals, which were brought from Malaga in Spain, have been moved to the excavation museum in the church. The Campanile was built by Pope Hadrian IV In the north and south clerestory walls 18 round-headed windows with 26 oculi, a unique feature in an Early Christian church in Rome, above can be seen now blocked up. A 5th century Christian (013) symbol is visible at the eastern corner of the northern clerestory near the façade. It shows the Chi- Rho, executed in brick, intertwined with the letters A and Ω. The some of the side buttressesare of Roman date restored with medieval masonry, and others are entirely from the 13th and 14th century. The apse is unique in Rome. It is influenced by the Lombard Romanesque style. A perfect cemi- circle, the exterior wall is original up to the dwarf gallery, and bears the traces of four bricked up windows. The entire south wall of the church is formed of the facades, three stories high, of two Roman insulae (a) whose windows and doors were bricked up at various stages. Congregation of the Passion of Jesus Christ (the Passionists) monastery was built in 1867, adjoining the basilica, for which they have cared since 1773. At third-floor level of the monastery, a pair of windows mark the room of St Paul of the Cross, the 18th century founder of the Passionist Congregation. Blessed Dominic Barberi, apostle to England, also lived here for some time.

The door of entrance is adorned internally with two marble columns; and the beautiful organ over the door is decorated with two columns of marmo bianco e nero. The pavement of the nave consists, in part, of 13th century cosmatesque opus Alexandrinum; and about its center, to the right, is a slab enclosed within an iron balustrade, marking the spot where SS. John and Paul are said to have been decapitated. The interior was transformed to the late Baroque style by the 1718 renovation. The coffered ceiling dates from 1598. Left aisle At the extremity of this aisle is the tomb of the Ven. Father Paul della Croce, Founder of the Congregation of the Passionists. The Pieta and the Agony in Gethsemane, by Francesco Grandi. The first chapel at the left rear is Chapel of the Crucifixion. The altarpiece of the next chapel is Saint Joseph with the Saviour, by Aureliano Melani. Over the next altar is the Conversion of Saint Paul, also by Melani. Apse and Tribunal The isolated great altar and the tribune were designed by F. Ferrari. An ancient porphyry urn beneath the altar contains the relics of St John and St Paul. They were moved to the upper church in 1558, and placed beneath the altar in 1726. The apse is frescoed with Christ in Glory (1588) by Cristoforo Roncalli (one of the painters called il Pomarancio) [1588]; while below are three paintings: Martyrdom of Saint John, Martyrdom of Saint Paul, and the Conversion of Terenziano (1726) by Domenico Piastrini, Giacomo Triga, and Pietro Andrea Barbieri respectively.

  • Monastery of Sts. John and Paul
    PASSIONIST RESOURCES THE MONASTIC COMPLEX OF STS. JOHN AND PAUL, ROME (400-1773) Fr. Tito Paolo Zeca On the foundation of the Domus, the Roman houses beneath the Basilica, in which the soldier brothers John and Paul were martyred at the time of the Emperor Julian the Apostate (+ 363), first an oratory was built and then a Basilica. Next to it, there was also a building to offer hospitality to the devotees of the cult of martyrs and to house those who would care for the sacred buildings. However, there is little information about the buildings and their caretakers until about the year 1000. We know that the first religious dwelling was built next to the Basilica on the northern side, of which there are very few traces remaining because it became amalgamated into subsequent buildings and structures of the Basilica. The documentation is more reliable after 1118 when the rebuilding and expansion of the Monastery that eventually developed was completed. It extended towards the bell tower and used the mighty substructures of the Claudianum (the rudiments of the Temple of Claudius). The Titular, Cardinal Theobald, undertook this work at the time of Pope Paschal II (1099-1118). The Basilica and monastery, in fact, had been badly damaged by looting done by the militias of Robert Guiscard in 1084. The stylistic changes, in Cistercian style, and the jurisdiction of the clergy of the Basilica was under the Abbey of Casamari. They provide valuable information about the monastic community that resided here. In the 15th century, a period of serious decline for the city, the Basilica and the monastery fell into serious disrepair.

They are not John, apostle and evangelist (and our patron) or Paul, the author of many letters from the Christian scriptures, both of whom lived in the first century AD. In fact, they both lived and died about 300 years after those great saints. They are likely the most recent martyrs in these lists. John and Paul are always mentioned together. They may have been brothers. Some suggest that they were former soldiers or even eunuchs who were in the employ of Constantina, the daughter of the Emperor Constantine the Great.

  • Western Rite Orthodoxy and the Eastern Orthodox Church
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Wales Trinity Saint David CUM ILLI GRAECI SINT, NOS LATINI: Western Rite Orthodoxy and the Eastern Orthodox Church by Jack Turner Bachelor of Arts University of South Carolina, 2002 Master of Arts University of South Carolina, 2005 Submitted to the University of Wales in Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies Lampeter 2010 © Copyright by Jack Turner, 2010 All Rights Reserved. ii Also for Jammie… “What then shall we do, since they are Greeks and we are Latins?” St Augustine of Hippo Conta Iulianum iii ABSTRACT In the era prior to the Great Schism of 1054, Christianity was one Church composed of two culturally distinct elements: the Greek East and Latin West. The Greek and Latin halves of the Church each possessed their own independent liturgical and cultural customs which were part of the dispute that lead to the Great Schism, effectively separating the Church into independent Greek and Latin sides. While the West had retained liturgical expressions that differed from the majority Western Rite (in the form of the Italo-Albanian Catholic Church, which remained in communion with Rome after the official break with Constantinople), the Christian East was exclusively composed of Churches celebrating the Byzantine Rite for approximately nine hundred years. This changed in the latter half of the nineteenth century with the conversion of Julius Joseph Overbeck to the Russian Orthodox Church in London.
