(Color Edition) Experience the grandeur of Rome's art,
architecture, history and - above all - faith. This Guide 4
Pilgrims includes almost 800 awe-inspiring images, from more than a
hundred of Rome's most important pilgrim sites, found in twelve
convenient walking tours that include detailed color maps. For the
pilgrim, Rome bears witness to twenty tumultuous centuries of
Christian history, like no other place. The Eternal City's
abundance of sacred treasures can overwhelm, however, especially
when so many tourist guides fail to focus on the faith. This is the
indispensible Guide 4 Pilgrims on Rome and the Vatican. Whether
travelling there or simply enjoying it from an armchair, pilgrims
can experience the human drama that has always defined the Eternal
City: from ancient emperors and martyrs, to Renaissance popes and
artists, to the enduring legacy of Rome's architects and saints.
Christianity has always demanded Rome's attention, just as the
Eternal City has commanded the world's. Regardless of the passing
of brutal emperors and empires, however, Rome confirms that the
gates of Hell have not and shall not prevail against Christ's
Church. (Color Edition offers a full color interior with almost 800
unforgettable images. This edition appeals to most pilgrims,
whether of the travelling or armchair variety.)
