On Saturday 12 October 2024, the 7th Day of the Catacombs – Autumn Edition will be held, which will involve some Roman catacombs that are not open to the public – S. Lorenzo, Tecla, Pretestato, Museo della Torretta in the Comprensorio Callistiano, the Fornai region in Domitilla and Generosa – and all other catacombs in Italy that can normally be visited.

The theme of this edition, as in the spring edition, “From remembrance to prayer”, is part of the preparatory path for the 2025 Jubilee. The Pope wanted this year to be dedicated to prayer, as a timely preparation for the celebration of the jubilee event.

The visit to the Christian catacombs, which allows visitors to have an experience that offers an encounter with the memories and testimonies of the first Christian communities, reminds us of people, events, and stories that are still very significant and important today.
