Few places of the ancient Christian era have captured the imagination as much as the catacombs. They are often depicted in movies and novels as subterranean hideouts where Christians gathered for worship in times of persecution. The underground cemeteries, like those outside Rome, were a network of passageways where the dead were buried. It is still popular to imagine early Christians using these inconspicuous places as impromptu locations for the Eucharist. Well, the St. Margaret community this summer is going underground for Mass to a makeshift worship space. It’s paint not persecution that will drive us down.
