Rome Part 4 The Stairs

Okay, I swear that this is my last post concerning my first trip to Rome.  I just completely forgot about one of the coolest things that we did while we were there.  We got to climb the stairs that Jesus climbed on His way to meet with Pilate before being crucified.  The stairs were obviously moved considering that Jesus wasn’t in Rome, but it was really cool regardless.  We climbed the stairs on our knees according to pilgrim tradition.  Next to the papal audience I think this was the best part or Rome.  For me, it was the most spiritual and important part of the trip.

Here is a better view of the stairs themselves, they were encased in wood and glass.

Here is a shot from the top.  I was one of the first FUS students to complete the climb.

Here’s another, I think this one is a bit clearer.
