Roma - Scala Santa
The "Scala Santa" (Holy Stairs) are a set of 28 steps, encased in a protective framework of wooden steps. The stairs lead to the "Sancta Sanctorum" (Holy of Holies), once the personal chapel of the Popes, who resided here.
Legends claim that the "Scala Santa" were brought to Rome about 326 by St. Helena, mother of Constantine I. In medieval times, they were known as "Scala Pilati", as according to the tradition, they are the steps leading up to the praetorium of Pontius Pilate in Jerusalem on which Jesus Christ stepped on his way to trial.
The "Scala Sancta" may only be ascended on the knees. For common use, the staircase is flanked by additional staircases, on each side. Many pilgrims climb up the "Scala Sancta" on their knees, as in the Catholic Church, an indulgence has been granted for climbing the stairs on the knees.
