THE MARTYRDOM OF ST JOHN

St. John did not die here, but was only tortured. This took place in Rome before Porta Latina during the persecution of the Christians by Domitian. A church was built on this site, and I went into it in October of 2000, when I went to Italy. At that time I was not entirely aware of what I was witnessing. When you go through the Roman Forum many things are just stumps and rubble, such as the location of Julius Caesar`s assassination, but you can still feel energy of the event frothing from the stone.
