Catacombs of Santa Priscilla (Rome, IT)




This early 3rd century fresco on a tomb in the catacombs of Santa Priscilla is the earliest known depiction in art of the Madonna.  I took this photo from a postcard since there is a prohibition from taking photos in the catacombs.  The remaining photos were taken at the catacombs, but they are few in number.


The only photo I was able to take inside the catacombs.  It is of us celebrating morning Mass.



The second most popular destination at the catacombs is the men's room!
