Today's station church is Santa Balbina, located up the Aventine Hill, overlooking the ancient Baths of Caracalla. The church is named for the second century virgin martyr, Balbina. Originally built in 336, this is one of the original twenty-five titular churches of Rome. Relics from Saint Balbina, her father, Saint Quirinus and Saint Felicissimus are located here. Also inside the church is an altar brought over from the old Saint Peter's basilica.
Tomorrow we travel to Santa Cecilia.
