Follow on Google News | New travel guide for Rome focuses on Catholic pilgrimsRecord crowds expected in Rome and the Vatican for papal canonizations.
"This book is at the top of my list as one of the most comprehensive Catholic travel guides to Rome,” says Teresa Tomeo, a popular Catholic radio and television show host who has led thousands of pilgrims to Rome for over ten years. “I am taking this book with me on all four of my pilgrimages to Rome this year. Although I have been to Rome many times, this book will help me to discover the hidden gems most miss when visiting the eternal city." Pilgrims are steered off the well-trodden tourist paths to out-of-the-way sites complete with over 1,000 surprising facts, history, and trivia. These sites most tourists miss include: >The preserved head of St. John the Baptist >A baptismal font used by St. Peter >The column upon which St. Paul was beheaded >The stone upon which soldiers cast lots for Jesus’ tunic >St. Paul's remains, sarcophagus and the chains that held him >A section of the scourging column of Jesus Christ "With this book in hand, you can see and appreciate what most Christians never learn, and to elevate your faith to a new level - what most tourists miss," says Nowell. "My wife and I wrote this book for people like us: those who want to experience their travels as life intensified, seeking to squeeze every ounce out of what they see, experience and learn. We want not only the city of Rome to be called eternal, but the memories of these beautiful sites as well.” More information can be found at http://kennethenowell.blogspot.com.
