Monday’s Station Church could leave you with a sinking feeling, at least if you were Chrysogonus himself. An account of his martyrdom states that after being beheaded at Aquileia under Diocletian, his body was thrown into the sea.
His body being rescued by the priest Zoilus, today he lies (in part) under the main altar, which also contains the arm of the apostle James the Great.
This doesn’t show you beneath the main altar, but just above it:
And a lovely wooden choir in the apse.
