Visitors to Rome this Easter can have a once-in-a-lifetime experience: climbing the original stairs that Jesus is said to have walked on while on his way up to be judged by Pontius Pilate before his crucifixion.
Drops of Jesus' blood that are said to have fallen on the steps are marked by medieval crosses in three places on the stairs. Tourists stop to kiss and touch them as they make their way up the 28 marble steps on their knees. Although there is no written documentation, tradition has it that Emperor Constantine's Mother, Helen, an avid collector of relics of Jesus in the 4th century, had the stairs brought over from Jerusalem.
The restoration also turned up a surprising discovery: deep grooves in the marble caused by centuries of wear and tear from the knees and feet of pilgrims."Up until a few days ago, it wasn't possible to see this because the stairs were covered for 300 years by walnut planks," Guerra added.
Seriously!!!! 😏. It sure which “stairs” they would be talking about... and WHY would “stairs” be taken to Rome? Jeeeshhhh!!!!!🙄
Instead of making people to go on this stairs like a circus preach the true Gospel and live by the word of God
“Those Who Can Make You Believe Absurdities, Can Make You Commit Atrocities” Voltaire. 'Faith is the absence of reason, the supression of knowledge and the wilful denial of reality.' atheism truth.
It was a once in a lifetime experience for Jesus and all! Crap is in serious need of cutting in the US mainstream media.
How much.
Where do they get this crap?
I really would like even a crumb of hard evidence that Jesus actually walked there.
hahahaha!
Love the morons on this thread who can’t read. You never fail to disappoint.
You would think they would have a few quid to help the homeless and starving.
... and other fairytales.
Interesting
❤️❤️❤️LOOKS SO AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL

Nothing morbid about that at all. Nope.

What a load of absolute rubbish. I’m sorry but the church is built on lies.
baloney sandwich...anyone?
Amazing!!
Looks like Italian Marble.
Hope they have metal detectors to catch gas cans and lighters.
Whether authentic or not, what these stairs stands for is what is very holy. And worth every moment a child of God would spend on it.
Was that before or after Jesus hid the Easter eggs?
But I am sure I went and saw it 20 years ago, not 300. It was covered by something acrylic
This is so beautiful.. So solemn, to experience the feeling that would come over One who loves Our Holy Lord God Jesus Christ..
We are all children of God? Then, aren't we all family? If you agree, stop fighting or saying hurtful things to your family members who are of different race, religion, creed, sexual orientation, disability or anything else that can apply. Peace to all. Live in peace and love.
And people actually believe this nonsense 🙄🙄
When are people going to stop falling for this... “is said to have” bullshit!
Wait, that's not right. 😒
Crap Roman Catholic have peddled since 325 AD when pagan Rome compromised Christianity. Crawling up the stairs is bowing 2 Baal, even said Roman Emperor Constantine's mother discovered the relic of the cross Jesus was crucified on. Martin Luther's reformation was due 2 such crap.
Take your walls down Vatican. You must not be Christian
😂😂😂😂 people will believe anything
I don’t whether it’s the Americans (CNN) or Italians that are pranking us so early in the morning 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Smh. Catholics and their precious relics. Thank God for the Reformation!
Since reading an article is HARD: Emperor Constantine's Mother, Helen, an avid collector of relics of Jesus in the 4th century, had the stairs brought over from Jerusalem.
Gethsemane Jerusalem. He wasn’t in Rome?
The Easter bunny is coming town
Jesus never visited Rome did he?
You are better off listening to Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway to Heaven '
Um* Jesus didn't walk any staircase, wasn't persecuted by Jews, and didn't die on a crucifix by order of the Sanhedrin. Jesus is a MYTH, which only the politically motivated exploit. CNN sucks, sooo bad.
Style it is even an elevator!
Sure... That all checks out.
Actual footage!
Weren't the stairs in Palestine ? Was the West looting the Rest even that long ago?
I am a Christian who just spent three hours on her knees for a Good Friday vigil. But I cannot believe this story to be true or do I need to. Christ cannot be found in relics.
The scali sancti. My folks have been up those, decades ago. Like anything else, it's who you know.
Blows my mind that reasonably well educated people still lap up this rubbish. But, to each their own.....
Wonder if they tried making money off of people climbing these stairs too 😂
Proving at fools and their money are soon parted.
Am I mistaken, or don’t most countries that realize that some amazing historical relic that was removed at some point in time from another country ought to be returned to that country. I know I read about this all the time. Don’t these stairs truly belong to Jerusalem?
^
Lol so much for a fictious character jesus
Oh for goodness sake........ 🙄
Sounds like a setup
Not only Jesus, It is possible for us also. Good Friday = Bhu_Loka = Physical plane Holy Saturday =Adhi_Loka=Thought Plane Easter Sunday = Yagna_Loka = Energy _plane. Are WE making efforts to transcend the THREE planes of existence ? ? ?
Cool
A-bullshit-hem.
Donald J. Trump is buying the stairs. Will only let Jared climb them after the deal is done.
Actually, I have some of the water Jesus is said to have walked on, if you're interested.
And how the F... the stairs end in ROme?
Holy fuck. None of it is fucking true.
This Easter, remember, Jesus gave up a weekend for our sins
Religion is nonsense.
What are you saying?
Religion is funny
Nice thought but the experts are certain these are not the stairs and marble wasn't used back then.
I'm Christian but give me a break. If it can't proven then it's just a tourist money making scheme, imo.
