Thursday after Ash Wednesday - San Giorgio in Velabro

Today’s station church is San Giorgio al Velabro, Saint George in Velabro. Velabro, meaning marshy land, is the name given to the area in Rome near Palatine Hill where the Tiber makes a sharp turn.

Built in during the 7th century, the portico and bell tower were added in the 13th century.

The church stands in what was once the Greek quarter of Rome near the so-called Arco di Giano and immediately next to the Arco degli Argentari, in the small square of the Cloaca Massima, not far from the place. in which the legend places the finding of the twins Romulus and Remus by the she-wolf.

Originally the church was dedicated to St. Sebastian, but devotion to St. George took hold when Pope Zacharias (741-752) brought there the relic of the saint’s head, which is still preserved under the altar.

It cannot stop assaulting what currently exists and therefore on,y ends when all is destroyed.  It is a continuous rebellion; not so coincidently the cause of the fall of Lucifer and 1/3 of the angels.
