Anchor 1
Chapel of the Relics
• The benefactor for the chapel, built in 1625, was the duke of Bavaria Maximilian I (1597-1651)
• On the bottom left is a relic of an arrow that wounded St. Sebastian
• On the bottom right is the column to which St. Sebastian was tied
• At the bottom center is the supposed imprints of Jesus' feet from the "Domine, quo vadis?" post-gospel story. As Peter was leaving Rome in order to avoid being killed, Jesus appeared on the road. Peter asked him "Lord, where are you going?" to which Jesus replied, "I go to be crucified a second time." Peter then returned to Rome. The location where this is to have taken place is about a mile north from here at the Quo Vadis church
