Why is a single church building in Rome honored with a universal feast day across the global Catholic Church? On The Son Rise Morning Show, host Anna Mitchell welcomes back renowned art historian, author, and Roman tour guide Dr. Liz Lev (How Catholic Art Saved the Faith, The Silent Night) to celebrate the November 9th Feast of the Dedication of the Basilica of Saint John Lateran. Lev unpacks the historic origins of this "Mother and Head of all Churches in the City and the World"—from Emperor Constantine's initial 313 AD legalization of Christianity to the Basilica's consecration in 324 AD. She guides listeners through its original vast floor plan designed to welcome all believers, its ancient artifacts (including doors from the Roman Senate and St. Peter's wooden altar table), and its resilience through fires, earthquakes, and sacks as a testament to the enduring Church.
