Where would you go?
I opted for the Catacombs since, despite many trips to Rome, I’ve never visited them. They are where many martyrs were buried during the great persecutions to keep them safe from desecration. But they also became early places of Christian worship, particularly the Eucharist which was celebrated around the tombs of the martyrs.
Would you make any special stops?
The tombs of SS Peter and Paul because they are very prominent martyrs. Also, during the persecutions, their tombs were threatened with desecration and moved from their tombs to the catacombs to prevent their desecration during persecution and brought back to the original sites when persecution had ended. They were only brought back later when it was safe.
