What to expect

Embark on a spiritual experience like no other with the Via Crucis flagship Rome tour, an essential itinerary for Christian pilgrims to the heart of Christendom before and during the Holy Year.

Created by and for traditional Catholics, the tour takes in the sacred Relics of Christ’s Passion, including part of the Holy Cross, the Holy Nails, the Crown of Thorns and the Title of the Cross, bearing the infamous inscription “Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews”. You'll also have the opportunity to see the Holy Stairs which Jesus climbed in condemnation, the pillar upon which He was scourged and other priceless artifacts from Christendom such as the Salus Popoli Romani icon by St. Luke and an example of Acheiropoieta in the Holy of Holies.

This tour visits two of Rome's four Holy Doors along the way, at the Major Basilica of St. Mary Major and the Arch-Basilica of St. John Lateran, the Mother Church of the World. Your devout Catholic guide will interpret the Catechesis in the stunning artworks and mosaics, blending history and faith to create a truly unforgettable experience.
