San Lorenzo in Lucina

Lady Lucina built the original oratory for yesterday’s Station Mass.  Her name sounding like kitchen (cucina), and her church containing the grill that Saint Lawrence was barbecued on, it’s sometimes called San Lorenzo in Cucina . . .

Here’s Guido Reni’s famous painting of the crucifixion over the main altar.

And the side altar with the barbecue grill itself.

Good help is hard to come by these days, so you’ll be happy to see these two sentries watching the church’s entrance.
