| Pauta: | The Museum of the Holy Souls in Purgatory - Rome |
| Descrição: | March 5, 2025, Rome, Italy: The Neo-gothic Church of Sacro Cuore del Suffragio (Sacred Heart of the Suffrage) houses the â?? Museum of the Holy Souls in Purgatoryâ?? in Rome, Italy on March 5, 2025. The museum is one of a kind in the world as it pretends to offer undeniable proofs of the existence of Purgatory. - Pictured: The Church of Sacro Cuore del Suffragio (Sacred Heart of the Suffrage) also known as Sacro Cuore di Gesu in Prati, is a catholic church in the centre of Rome (Italy). - The tiny century-old â??Piccolo Museo Del Purgatorioâ?? holds a collection of bibles, prayer books, tabletops, and articles of clothing said to have been singed by the hands of souls in purgatory. The very unusual collection was commissioned by French missionary Victor Jouet following the events of 15 November 1897, when a mysterious fire broke out in the Rosary Chapel, in which the altar painting was spared. In the flames, the priest and the worshippers saw a suffering face, which was then enigmatically imprinted on the wall, a reproduced image of which is displayed in the exhibition. This convinced the priest that the soul of a deceased person in pain and condemned to purgatory wanted to contact the living. This led him to travel around Europe searching for evidence of the afterlife and the deceasedâ??s contact with living relatives. The collection includes fabric, tunics, skullcaps, breviaries and wooden tablets recounting apparitions of the deceased to relatives and believers, witnessed by their â??scorched imprintsâ??. These testimonies, circumstantiated and each with a unique history, mostly date to the 18th and 19th centuries and were motivated by requests for prayers or memorial masses to reduce the deceasedâ??s time in purgatory and hasten their ascension to Heaven. A unique collection to get to grips with the mystery of faith. (Credit Image: © Vandeville Eric/Abaca/Zuma Press/Fotoarena) |
