Who Knows Rome?

I’m trying to track down the earliest literary reference to the “miracle of the spring” attributed to St. Peter during his stay in the Tullianum, the dungeon of what’s now known as the Mamertine. I can’t find anything earlier than the Middle Ages. But the scene appears often in early-Christian art. Anyone out there know a text in the Fathers or the Christian apocrypha?

  1. Can’t help you here Mike. Just wanted to let you know that I’m loving the new blog. Wow!

    I’m getting Living the Mysteries off the bookshelf for my Easter reading!

  2. Going to visit a priest friend of mine soon who has been to Rome over 70 times – I’ll take this post along.
