  • 036-Santa Prisca
    Santa Prisca Santa Prisca is a heavily remodeled early 12th-century titular church, on the Aventine Hill in rione Ripa, built on ancient foundations. The dedication to the obscure St Prisca. Owing to confusion between her and St Priscilla, the church has also known been known as Santi Aquila e Prisca. History The identity of St Prisca is uncertain. One tradition claims that she is identical with Priscilla, who is mentioned in the New Testament, another that she was the daughter of Aquila and Priscilla. In the Acts of the Apostles (Acts XVIII, 1-4), it is written that St Paul stayed with Aquila and Priscilla, Jewish Christians exiled from Rome, when he was in Corinth and again in Ephesus after they had moved there. Later, they were apparently able to move back to Rome, as St Paul sends his greetings to them there (Romans 16, 3-5). The tradition then claims that this was Priscilla's house and that SS Peter and Paul both stayed there. [1] The alternative old tradition was that Prisca was a daughter of the couple, who was martyred as a virgin in the reign of the emperor Claudius in the 1st century. This would make her Rome's earliest martyr, earlier even than those called the Protomartyrs of Rome killed in a pogrom ordered by Nero. This story was accepted by the old Roman martyrology, compiled in the 17th century. [1] Both traditions have been successfully challenged by modern historians, and the revised Roman martyrology merely describes her as the patron saint of this church who lived before the year 499.

People lived the past in a very real sense, and the past, living in them, was constantly recreated in a way that made it part of everyday life. Scholars tend to rely so heavily on verbal sources that they underestimate the influence of the senses in developing an awareness of history. Sight, smell, hearing, and touch were all enlisted in the task of reconstructing the past. Even speech was a dramatic performance, and the actions that accompanied many rites and ceremonies helped to bring past people and events into the present, giving meaning to history and linking it to the future.

  • 053-Santa Prassede All'esquilino
    (053/18) Santa Prassede all'Esquilino Interior of Santa Prassede Santa Prassede is a a 9th century minor basilica located near the major basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in the rione Esquilino. The dedication is to St Praxedes. The patron saint of this church is one of those at Rome, the biographies of whom are now completely lost. The revised Roman martyrology now simply lists her as the person to whom the church is dedicated. A romantic legend of the 6th century, which may possibly preserve the names of real people, describes St Pudens as a Roman senator who gave hospitality to St Peter. He had two virgin daughters who were martyred, Sts. Pudentiana and Praxedis; the former has the nearby church of Santa Pudenziana dedicated to her. Santa Prassede used this church to hide the Christians persecuted by the then Emperor Antoninus Pius, providing for the burial of the martyrs at the Priscilla Cemetery, the catacombs of Santa Priscilla on the Via Salaria. In this Cemetery, Santa Prassede herself was buried with her sister and then returned to her church rebuilt by Pasquale I. [1] [2] The existence of the martyr daughters is historically extremely problematic. Pudens himself has been deleted from the revised Roman martyrology. The most recent scholarly consensus on who Praxedis really was, concludes that she was probably a lady who donated property for the foundation of the original church, or money for the purpose. [1] [a] History The Basilica of Santa Prassede stands on the ancient Clivus Suburanus, not far from Santa Maria Maggiore. This church is the most complete monument of the Carolingian Renaissance, when the papacy aspired to revive the glories of Canstantine's Christian empire.

  • About Confirmation Names How to Choose a Saints Name
    About Confirmation Names Confirmation names are a special part of the confirmation process for Roman Catholics, especially those in English-speaking countries. Before the ritual of being confirmed, those seeking confirmation choose to take a saint's name with whom they identify. After confirmation the confirmed can pray to the saint for guidance and protection. Significance Confirmation is a rite or sacrament in the Christian tradition. For Roman Catholics, confirmation usually occurs in early adolescence. Other Christian denominations place confirmation soon after baptism. Coming from the New Testament, confirmation is related to the receiving of the Holy Spirit by the apostles on Pentecost. At the time of confirmation, the Holy Spirit is thought to descend on the person and bestow spiritual gifts. Features Roman Catholics going through confirmation choose a saint they feel an affinity for as their confirmation name. The patron saint then serves as their guide and protector. Choosing a confirmation name is not biblical and does not come from the official Catholic liturgical book. The custom originated in the United Kingdom and is also practiced in the United States, Germany and Poland. Types The set of confirmation names is as long as the list of saints that can be found in the resources section below. Some of the more popular confirmation names for girls are Mary, Teresa and Catherine. For boys they are Michael, Thomas and Francis. Considerations The common advice for those trying to decide on a name is to research saint names and find one that fits their personality or spiritual goals. Those seeking confirmation are also encouraged to pray and seek a saint that is willing to guide them as they seek a closer relationship with God.
