The “Station Mass” belongs to the ancient History of the Church. These Masses likely began as a daily pilgrimage in the footsteps of the martyrs and saints of Rome, the people would then gather at the stopping place, the statio, or Station Church where Mass was to be celebrated. They were already a practice by the 4th Century. It was Pope St Gregory the Great (A.D. 590 – 604) who formalised and regulated the practice.
In recent decades this ancient Lenten tradition has been revived at Rome and elsewhere throughout the Catholic World.
