One of the most beautiful things about Holy Week in Rome is the long-standing popular custom of visiting the Sacrament Altars (often called “sepolcri - sepulchers” in Italian) of seven churches on the evening of Holy Thursday, a practice to which a plenary indulgence is attached. Here are some photos of a few of the better ones, graciously provided by two Roman friends.
