San Salvatore Alle Coppelle
San Salvatore alle Coppelle is a church in Rome, on piazza delle Coppelle in the Sant'Eustachio district. History A wall inscription inside the church states it was completed under pope Celestine III on 26 November 1195, though this likely refers to a refurbishment rather than the original construction, which was possibly much earlier. A now-lost ancient inscription refers to the church originally being built on the site of the house of saint Abbasia, a noblewoman who left her estate to charity, forming the basis of a Monte di Pietà, giving the church its medieval name of San Salvatore ''de Pietate''. Other sources believe the church gained this name after the Trajanic ''Arco della Pietà'', now lost but still surviving in ruins in the 14th century. This church in turn may be identifiable with that known as San Salvatore ''de Sere'' in some medieval documents. In 1404 pope Innocent VII gave the church to the Università dei Sellai, which owned it for three centuries. In 1633, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Confraternity Of The Most Holy Sacrament Of Divine Perseverance
A confraternity ( es, cofradía; pt, confraria) is generally a Christian voluntary association of laypeople created for the purpose of promoting special works of Christian charity or piety, and approved by the Church hierarchy. They are most common among Roman Catholics, Anglicans, Lutherans and the Western Orthodox. When a Catholic confraternity has received the authority to aggregate to itself groups erected in other localities, it is called an archconfraternity. Examples include the various confraternities of penitents and the confraternities of the cord, as well as the Confraternity of the Rosary. History Pious associations of laymen existed in very ancient times at Constantinople and Alexandria. In France, in the eighth and ninth centuries, the laws of the Carlovingians mention confraternities and guilds. But the first confraternity in the modern and proper sense of the word is said to have been founded at Paris by Bishop Odo (d.1208). It was under the invocation of the Bl ...

Churches Of Rome (rione Sant'Eustachio)
There are more than 900 churches in Rome. Most, but not all, of these are Catholic. The first churches of Rome originated in places where Christians met. They were divided into three main categories: :#the houses of private Roman citizens (people who hosted the meetings of Christians also known as ''oratoria'', ''oracula'') :#the deaconries (places where charity distributions were given to the poor and placed under the control of a deacon; the greatest deaconries had many deacons, and one of them was elected archdeacon) :#other houses holding a '' titulus'' (known as ''domus ecclesia'') Tituli Pope Marcellus I (A.D. 306–308) is said to have recognized twenty five ''tituli'' in the City of Rome, ''quasi dioecesis''. It is known that in 336, Pope Julius I had set the number of presbyter cardinals to 28, so that for each day of the week, a different presbyter cardinal would say mass in one of the four major basilicas of Rome, St. Peter's, Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the ...

National Churches In Rome
Charitable institutions attached to churches in Rome were founded right through the medieval period and included hospitals, hostels, and others providing assistance to pilgrims to Rome from a certain "nation", which thus became these nations' national church (Roman Catholicism), national churches in Rome (). These institutions were generally organized as confraternity, confraternities and funded through charity and legacies from rich benefactors belonging to that "nation". Often, they were also connected to national (ancestors of Rome's seminary, seminaries), where the clergymen of that nation were trained. The churches and their riches were a sign of the importance of their nation and of the prelates that supported them. Up to 1870 and Italian unification, these national churches also included churches of the Italian city states (now called "regional churches"). Many of these organizations, lacking a purpose by the 19th century, were expropriated through the 1873 legislati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bell Tower
A bell tower is a tower that contains one or more bells, or that is designed to hold bells even if it has none. Such a tower commonly serves as part of a Christian church, and will contain church bells, but there are also many secular bell towers, often part of a municipal building, an educational establishment, or a tower built specifically to house a carillon. Church bell towers often incorporate clocks, and secular towers usually do, as a public service. The term campanile (, also , ), deriving from the Italian ''campanile'', which in turn derives from ''campana'', meaning "bell", is synonymous with ''bell tower''; though in English usage campanile tends to be used to refer to a free standing bell tower. A bell tower may also in some traditions be called a belfry, though this term may also refer specifically to the substructure that houses the bells and the ringers rather than the complete tower. The tallest free-standing bell tower in the world, high, is the Mortegliano B ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
