This text is taken from The Liturgical Year, authored by Dom Prosper Gueranger (1841-1875) The Station, in Rome, was formerly the church of the martyr Saint Cyriacus, and as such it is still given in the Roman Missal; but this holy sanctuary having been destroyed, and the relics of the holy deacon translated to the Church of Saint Mary in Via lata, it is here that the Station is now held.
