This comprehensive tour explains why St. Peter's Basilica was significant to the early Christians, and why it is still significant today.</p>\n<p><strong>&ldquo;Ecco Roma&rdquo;</strong></p>\n<p>Just as the ancient pilgrims exclaimed, &ldquo;Ecco Roma&rdquo; (Latin for &ldquo;Behold Rome&rdquo;), so too does this course begin with wonder at beholding the Eternal City. Aside from visiting Italy in person, this tour will take you as close as possible to experiencing the splendor of Rome, Vatican City, and St. Peter&rsquo;s Square.</p>\n<p><strong>Beginning with the First Pope<br /></strong></p>\n<p>Rather than starting this tour with the Basilica&rsquo;s construction, Fr. Kirby begins with the basilica&rsquo;s namesake - St. Peter himself - as well as the origins of Christianity. With this great historical context of the first pope, one can come to more fully appreciate the treasures contained within Rome and within St. Peter&rsquo;s Square.</p>\n<p><strong>A Tour for Our Times<br /></strong></p>\n<p>Given in light of the New Evangelization, this tour is not just a tour of Rome's essential history and its artistic masterpieces, but rather one that begs a certain spiritual awareness. St. Peter's is a sacred place, and its basilica is like a living catechism, inspiring us to ask ourselves profound questions and deepen our faith.</p>\n<p><strong>Lectures</strong></p>\n<ol>\n<li>St. Peter&rsquo;s Square and the Origins of Christianity\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our study of St. Peter's begins with a look at the early Christians, who were heavily persecuted by Nero.</span></li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>St. Peter: Proud Fisherman, Prince of the Apostles, and the First Pope\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The namesake of St. Peter&rsquo;s Basilica originates from a surprisingly relatable and compelling follower of Christ.</span></li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>A Faith-filled Walk around St. Peter&rsquo;s Square\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">St. Peter&rsquo;s is a place to ask those big questions weighing on our minds, and to hear the Lord&rsquo;s answers. </span></li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>Sights and Insights around St. Peter&rsquo;s Square\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blessed Pope John Paul II is the key to finishing up our look at St. Peter&rsquo;s Square before we enter the basilica.</span></li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>The Basilica&rsquo;s Narrative of Faith\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The story of St. Peter&rsquo;s Basilica is a fascinating narrative of brokenness and redemption, much like our own lives.</span></li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>The Threshold of the Apostles and the Door of Faith\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we finish looking at the history behind St. Peter&rsquo;s Basilica, we can begin to study its physical and spiritual artistry.</span></li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>The Household and Journey of Faith\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we continue looking closely at St. Peter&rsquo;s Basilica, we can see how it symbolizes our own walk of faith.</span></li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>Going to the Altar of God and Going in Peace\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we approach the sanctuary of St. Peter&rsquo;s Basilica &mdash; the heart of the church &mdash; we also approach the conclusion of our tour. </span></li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ol>\n<p><strong>Lecture Sample</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><a id=\"sample_video\"></a>\n<script src=\"https://fast.wistia.com/embed/medias/rfs4bwza0u.jsonp\" async=\"\"></script>\n<script src=\"https://fast.wistia.com/assets/external/E-v1.js\" async=\"\"></script>\n</p>\n<div class=\"wistia_responsive_padding\" style=\"padding: 56.25% 0 0 0; position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"wistia_responsive_wrapper\" style=\"height: 100%; left: 0; position: absolute; top: 0; width: 100%;\">\n<div class=\"wistia_embed wistia_async_rfs4bwza0u seo=false videoFoam=true\" style=\"height: 100%; position: relative; width: 100%;\">\n<div class=\"wistia_swatch\" style=\"height: 100%; left: 0; opacity: 0; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; top: 0; transition: opacity 200ms; width: 100%;\"><img style=\"filter: blur(5px); height: 100%; object-fit: contain; width: 100%;\" src=\"https://fast.wistia.com/embed/medias/rfs4bwza0u/swatch\" alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" /></div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n<div>&nbsp;</div>\n<p><strong>About the Professor</strong></p>\n<p>Father Kirby was ordained into the priesthood on July 27th, 2007.

A Comprehensive Tour 

In this course, Father Kirby takes a look at the history and artwork of St. Peter's Square and Basilica through the light of faith. This comprehensive tour explains why St. Peter's Basilica was significant to the early Christians, and why it is still significant today.

“Ecco Roma”

Just as the ancient pilgrims exclaimed, “Ecco Roma” (Latin for “Behold Rome”), so too does this course begin with wonder at beholding the Eternal City. Aside from visiting Italy in person, this tour will take you as close as possible to experiencing the splendor of Rome, Vatican City, and St. Peter’s Square.

Beginning with the First Pope

Rather than starting this tour with the Basilica’s construction, Fr. Kirby begins with the basilica’s namesake - St. Peter himself - as well as the origins of Christianity. With this great historical context of the first pope, one can come to more fully appreciate the treasures contained within Rome and within St. Peter’s Square.

A Tour for Our Times

Given in light of the New Evangelization, this tour is not just a tour of Rome's essential history and its artistic masterpieces, but rather one that begs a certain spiritual awareness. St. Peter's is a sacred place, and its basilica is like a living catechism, inspiring us to ask ourselves profound questions and deepen our faith.

Lectures

  1. St. Peter’s Square and the Origins of Christianity
    • Our study of St. Peter's begins with a look at the early Christians, who were heavily persecuted by Nero.
  2. St. Peter: Proud Fisherman, Prince of the Apostles, and the First Pope
    • The namesake of St. Peter’s Basilica originates from a surprisingly relatable and compelling follower of Christ.
  3. A Faith-filled Walk around St. Peter’s Square
    • St. Peter’s is a place to ask those big questions weighing on our minds, and to hear the Lord’s answers.
  4. Sights and Insights around St. Peter’s Square
    • Blessed Pope John Paul II is the key to finishing up our look at St. Peter’s Square before we enter the basilica.
  5. The Basilica’s Narrative of Faith
    • The story of St. Peter’s Basilica is a fascinating narrative of brokenness and redemption, much like our own lives.
  6. The Threshold of the Apostles and the Door of Faith
    • As we finish looking at the history behind St. Peter’s Basilica, we can begin to study its physical and spiritual artistry.
  7. The Household and Journey of Faith
    • As we continue looking closely at St. Peter’s Basilica, we can see how it symbolizes our own walk of faith.
  8. Going to the Altar of God and Going in Peace
    • As we approach the sanctuary of St. Peter’s Basilica — the heart of the church — we also approach the conclusion of our tour.
