Descend deep into the catacombs of Rome, down twisted corridors surrounded by ancient tombs on either side to discover the secret behind the Cult of the Saints.
Much like the catacombs, the history behind the veneration of saints proceeds down many levels into the very substratum of traditional Greek and Roman beliefs and rituals connected with death, ancestor worship, and the often misunderstood Cult of the Heroes, and this history is often as dark and convoluted as the tunnels beneath Rome itself!!!

This lecture will be posted on the Dr. James Rietveld Salon Lecture You Tube channel, where you can also watch previous lectures: dr.jamesrietveldsalonlectu2903
