Seven Churches Visitation
The Seven Churches Visitation also known as Visita Iglesia is a pious Roman Catholic Lenten tradition to visit seven churches on Maundy Thursday.〔 On Maundy Thursday of Holy Week, following the Mass of the Lord's Supper, the Blessed Sacrament, the "bread" of the mass, is laid on the Altar of Repose in the church for the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. During the Seven Churches Visitation or Visita Iglesia, the faithful visit several churches – sometimes seven, sometimes fourteen, sometimes no set number depending upon the particular practice – to pray in front of each church's Blessed Sacrament.
==Practice==
After the Mass of the Lord's Supper, during which Christians remember Jesus Christ's last meal with his Apostles on the night that he was arrested, and throughout the night, the faithful remember Jesus's Agony in the Garden.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.catholicculture.org/culture/liturgicalyear/calendar/day.cfm?date=2015-04-02 )〕 After the mass, the main and most side altars are stripped bare; all crosses are either removed or covered; the Blessed Sacrament placed on the Altar of Repose, and churches are open for silent adoration.〔 This is response to request Jesus made to his apostles while they were in the Garden, as recorded in Gospel of Matthew 26:40, "Could you not, then, watch one hour with me?"〔
The faithful who practice this visitation depart from the church where they attended the Mass of the Lord's Supper and walk or otherwise travel to nearby churches and each kneel and prayer in front of that church's Altar of Repose. This occurs mostly in urban areas where churches are close enough to make the traveling possible.
There are no set of prayers given by the Catholic Church except to pray for the intentions of the Pope and recite the Lord's Prayer, Hail Mary and Gloria Patri. People also opt to pray the Stations of the Cross, the recitation of which is liturgically proper to Good Friday.
