I Hold This Truth To Be Suspicious
CNA).-
The bare, white marble of Rome’s ‘Scala Sancta,’ which are believed to
be the stairs trod by Christ on the day of his trial and death, are
exposed and visible to pilgrims for the first time in almost 300 years.
The stairs, encased in wood since the 1700s, will be uncovered for veneration from April 11 to June 9, the feast of Pentecost. During this time, pilgrims may ascend the marble steps on their knees.
The Holy Stairs are held to be those which led to the praetorium of Pontius Pilate in Jerusalem, and which Christ would have ascended on his way to the trial before his Crucifixion.
They are HELD to be? Sounds iffy to me, but knock yourself out.
