A special exhibition on the history of the Catholic Church in Korea, currently being held in Vatican, can now be viewed online via an interactive website.

The website showcases 'On Earth as it is in Heaven: Seoul and 230 Years of the Catholic Church in Korea,' a special exhibition consisting of 187 relics that has been held at the Vatican Museum's Braccio di Carlo Magno Hall since Sept. 9.

The online exhibition also offers interactive views around St. Peter's Basilica from Castel Sant' Angelo, allowing users to feel they are walking through Rome's streets to the basilica.

When arriving at the Braccio di Carlo Magno Hall, users also can see the exhibition's opening ceremony.

The website was co-launched by the Seoul History Museum and the Seoul Archdiocese. The exhibition will run at the Vatican until Nov. 17.

Dear reader,
Lent is the season during which catechumens make their final preparations to be welcomed into the Church.
Each year during Lent, UCA News presents the stories of people who will join the Church in proclaiming that Jesus Christ is their Lord. The stories of how women and men who will be baptized came to believe in Christ are inspirations for all of us as we prepare to celebrate the Church's chief feast.
Help us with your donations to bring such stories of faith that make a difference in the Church and society.
A small contribution of US$5 will support us continue our mission…
