The Vatican Obelisk in St. Peter’s Square has an incredible history linking Ancient Egypt, Rome, and early Christianity. This Egyptian obelisk, originally dedicated to the sun god Ra, was brought to Rome by Emperor Caligula and placed in the Circus of Nero, where early Christians like Saint Peter were martyred. Nero’s circus became infamous as the site of brutal executions, including Christians burned alive as “human torches.” The obelisk witnessed the persecution of the Church, but centuries later it was reclaimed by Christianity, topped with a cross, and moved to the center of St. Peter’s Square in front of St. Peter’s Basilica. Today, the Vatican obelisk stands as a symbol of Christianity’s triumph over the Roman Empire, from persecution to victory. Learn about the history of St. Peter, the martyrdom of Christians under Nero, the Circus of Nero, and how ancient Egyptian monuments became trophies of Roman conquest and later Christian symbols.
