Every year during Lent, the Christians of Rome maintain the tradition of the station services, which originally took place with the participation of the popes. The Collegium Cultorum Martyrum, founded on 2 February 1879 at the Campo Santo Teutonico (see on Adolf Hytrek in: Personenlexikon zur Christlichen Archäologie), tries to maintain this tradition and publishes the calendar for this year as well. From the 7th century until the last liturgical reform, the Roman station churches were in the missal (cf. U. M. Lang, The Roman Mass), after which they were deleted for the universal Church.
