Scala Sancta
The ''ラテン語:Scala Sancta'' ((英語:Holy Stairs), (イタリア語:Scala Santa)) are a set of 28 white marble steps located within a building in Rome near the Lateran Basilica and is an extraterritorial property of the Holy See.〔(www.vatican.va ) Stampa della Santa Sede: Zone extraterritoriali vaticani, 3 April 2001 (Italian). Retrieved 24 March 2014.〕 The steps, long encased in a protective framework of wooden steps, are located in a building that incorporates part of the old Lateran Palace. The stairs lead to the ''ラテン語:Sancta Sanctorum'' ((英語:Holy of Holies)), the personal chapel of the early Popes known as the chapel of St. Lawrence.
According to the Catholic tradition, they are the steps leading up to the praetorium of Pontius Pilate in Jerusalem on which Jesus Christ stepped on his way to trial during the events known as the Passion. The stairs were, reputedly, brought to Rome by St. Helena in the fourth century. For centuries, the ''Scala Sancta'' has attracted Christian pilgrims who wish to honor the Passion of Jesus.
== History ==
Medieval legends claim that the Holy Stairs were brought from Jerusalem to Rome about 326 by St. Helena, mother of Constantine the Great. In the Middle Ages, they were known as ''Scala Pilati'' or "Stairs of Pilate". From old plans it appears that they led to a corridor of the Lateran Palace, near the Chapel of St. Sylvester, and were covered with a special roof. In 1589, Sixtus V had the papal palace, then in ruins, demolished to make way for the construction of a new one, he ordered the Holy Stairs be reconstructed in their present location, before the ''Sancta Sanctorum'' (Holy of Holies), named for the many precious relics preserved there, including the celebrated icon of ''Santissimi Salvatore Acheiropoieton'' ("not made by human hands") which on certain occasions used to be carried through Rome in procession.〔Ewart Witcombe, p. 372.〕 These holy treasures, which since Leo X (1513–21) had not been seen by anybody, have been the object of dissertations by Grisar and Lauer.
