WHITHER GOEST THOU ?
MANY visitors to Rome travel down the Appian Way and see the church called ' Domine, Quo Vadis ? ' Here, tradition cays, St. Peter, fleeing from the persecutors in the reign of Nero, met his Master going into the city. Recognising Him, he inquired : • Domine, Quo Vadis ? ' i.e., ' Lord, whither goeet Thou ? ' To which Jesus answered :'I am going to be crucified again.' Thereupon St. Peter, ashamed of his flight, turned back to the city to meet his death. A marble slab in the church gives a copy of our Lord's footprint, the original being in the church of St. Sebastiuno, one of the seven churches so much frequented by pilgrims.
