📍 Episode 20: San Lorenzo in Lucina – The Cross in Art and Martyrdom

Today, our Lenten pilgrimage brings us to San Lorenzo in Lucina, a church that unites sublime sacred art with the heroic witness of St. Lawrence. Here, we contemplate Guido Reni’s masterpiece, "The Crucifixion", a work of unparalleled beauty that captures Christ’s suffering and triumph. At the same time, we honor the relic of the gridiron, a powerful reminder of St. Lawrence’s ultimate sacrifice.

Join us as we explore:

🟠 The genius of Guido Reni and his breathtaking Altarpiece of the Crucifixion
🟠 How Reni’s portrayal of Christ reflects both sorrow and divine majesty
🟠 The life and martyrdom of St. Lawrence, the fearless deacon of Rome
🟠 The relic of the gridiron, a tangible link to his sacrifice for the faith

How does the art and witness of San Lorenzo in Lucina challenge us to embrace the Cross with faith and courage?
