Subterranean Mystery Tour

National Catholic Reporter, Oct 27, 2000 by John L. Jr. Allen

The wonder of coming here is not contained in bones. It is in the chance to see oneself in the light of eternity, to ponder beginnings and ends. For that purpose the necropolis itself, now beautifully restored, serves well.

Requests for visits to the necropolis must be made with the Vatican's Ufficio Scavi. The fax number is 06.69885518; reservations must be made 20 days in advance. The e-mail address for John L. Allen Jr. is jallen@natcath.org
