The Pilgrimage of St. Filippo Neri, the 7 Churches
Filippo Neri was a priest that was sanctified, in the days of carnival, he used to distract the faithful from the executions of those days, bring them on pilgrimage. During the years this custom became much more important and followed by numerous faithful. This pilgrimage touches the most important churches of Rome. It is called the tour of the 7 churches. The pilgrimage was initially made by St. Philip Neri in solitude or with some occasional traveling companion . Then in 1559 it became a real religious custom for the Roman people.
