La leggenda vuole che la chiesa sorga sulla casa familiare di Cecilia, « [...] vergine illustre, nata da nobile stirpe romana», che subì il supplizio verso il 220. La Legenda Aurea narra che papa Urbano I, che aveva convertito il marito di lei, Valeriano, ed era stato testimone del martirio, « [...] seppellì il corpo di Cecilia tra quelli dei vescovi e consacrò la sua casa trasformandola in una chiesa, così come gli aveva chiesto».[2] Il Titulus Caeciliae è in effetti attestato già dal V secolo. All'inizio del IX secolo papa Pasquale I, grande recuperatore di reliquie ed edificatore di chiese (Santa Maria in Domnica, Santa Prassede), ebbe in sogno la visione di Cecilia che gli rivelava la propria sepoltura; fece quindi erigere la chiesa in forma basilicale sul luogo della precedente e vi traslò il corpo. Durante i lavori di ristrutturazione effettuati nel 1599 dal cardinale Paolo Emilio Sfondrati, (nipote di papa Gregorio XIV, e il cui monumento funebre è quello che si vede nel portico, a destra) fu aperto il sepolcro di marmo e nella ulteriore cassa di cipresso che esso racchiudeva si ritrovò il corpo quasi integro della santa, vestito di bianco e con il segno delle ferite sul collo. L'evento fu considerato miracoloso tanto che anche papa Clemente VIII andò a constatarlo. Si commissionò allo scultore Stefano Maderno la riproduzione della figura così com'era stata ritrovata. L'eccezionale opera in marmo pario, attualmente esposta sotto l'altare maggiore, testimonia nei secoli l'evento. (fonte Wikipedia)

Thanks Walter for this wonderful shot and caption. The church most loved by my mother in her earthly life in whose crypt rested the saint of which she bore the name.
A dear greeting

I really like the effects of light and the management of Shadows. The whole is natural with a homogeneous yield. The framing is nice and the place is great. Interesting to read the history of this place. There is a small detail, almost irrelevant, which I would like to point out: the plastic chairs on the right.
A dear greeting
Renato
