The church of St. Passera or better than S Abbaciro

The churches of Rome, as is known, and many embrace a period of several centuries from Christianity to the Romanesque and Baroque.

If you want to analyze this topic, just for example take a look not distracted by the famous volume of Mariano Armellini describing detail, in the churches of Rome at the end del'800 in historical and artistic.

Among these ranks that the church of St. Passera is on the road near the Magliana Portuense.

According to tradition, was built at the place where, in the early Vsecolo, The remains of two saints Alexandrian, Cyrus and John, were landed in Rome to be transferred to the city.

From the eleventh century onwards it belonged to the monastery of Santa Maria in Via Lata, and in the documents of the eleventh and twelfth century is called Sancti Abbacyri or Cyri Sancti et Iohannis, in memory of the saints for whom the church was built. In abnni disappeared after the name of John and was only to Abbaciro through various corruptions of words became Abbaciro Appaciro Appacero Pacer Pacera and finally Passera.

This is the commonly accepted explanation, although the nineteenth-century archaeologist Mariano Armellini also raises the possibility that Santa Passera is a deformation of the name Santa Prassede. The hypothesis is considered justified by later scholars, particularly in view of dense presence of the saint among the frescoes.

The building stands on a Roman tomb in an underground cell which are preserved funerary paintings of the early third century. And consists of three levels: the present church of the fourteenth century, due to a crypt chapel of the fifth century and to a lower level underground environment identified as an ancient tomb of Roman period.

The upper church, which is a single rectangular nave with an apse and wooden ceiling, the remains of frescoes on the walls and apse, dating from the Middle Ages. From down in the church sacristy lower, which is also decorated with frescoes almost totally disappeared: you can still see five figures, including three bishops.

The entrance to the crypt should be read, as quoted in the literature on and in the text of Armellini these two verses: Corpora Cyri reluctant Sancti Joannis atque hic / dedit quae quondam Romae Alexandria Magna ("You shine the holy bodies Cyrus and John, who one day called the great Alexandria to Rome ").
