St John in the Lateran - the Holy Stairs - the Holy Cross in Jerusalem
	Let's go back to the first centuries of Christianity, when emperors and pilgrims traveled to the Holy Land seeking out  the relics of the Lord and his ministers.....

All along the centuries Christian pilgrims have traveled to Rome to see the holy places. On the spurs of the early faithful you visit the Cathedral of Rome, St John in the Lateran, the Chapel of the Sancta Sanctorum and the Holy Stairs, mounted by Our Lord and spotted with his blood after he had been beaten in the palace of Pontius Pilate in Jerusalem (pilgrims usually climb them on their knees).

Saint Helen, Constantine's mother, is said to have collected in Jerusalem several relics, so as pieces of wood and nails from the Cross and thorns from the crown of the Lord. They are preserved in the Chapel of the Relics in the church of The Holy Cross, raised by the same empress in the IV century.
