Summary "Roma Sacra" by Reinhold Schoener is a historical account written during the late 19th century. This book delves into the religious and cultural significance of Rome, particularly as the center of Catholicism, showcasing its churches, ceremonies, and social dynamics in the context of Rome's spiritual identity and the revival of national sentiment following Italian unification. In "Roma Sacra," Schoener meticulously describes the rich tapestry of religious life in Rome, focusing on various Catholic rituals, festivals, and the influence of clergy in daily Roman life. The narrative outlines how traditions such as Christmas, Holy Week, and the festival of Epiphany attract both devout followers and curious observers, blending the sacred and the social. Through vivid descriptions of processions, ceremonies, and the public's engagement with these traditions, the author portrays not only the external spectacle of religious practices but also explores the complex interplay between faith, culture, and identity in the heart of Italy.
