The Station Churches

The people of the Diocese of Rome have a wonderful tradition known as the Station Churches, in which people gather at a different church in the diocese each day of Lent. Today, it is the Basilica of Santa Sabina.

It is where the Holy Father traditionally leads the celebration.
This year, however, Pope Benedict will be celebrating Ash Wednesday at St. Peter's Basilica, since this will be one of his last major liturgies before his resignation takes effect at the end of this month.
