Gothic Church on the Tiber and Museum of Purgatory
In 1897, when a chapel burned in the middle of Rome, not far from the Vatican, a French chaplain made an interesting discovery. The fire had destroyed the chapel, but when Chaplain Victor Jouët rushed into the burned building, he saw the imprint of a human face on the sooty wall behind the altar.
Father Jouët was certain: this image must have come from the soul of a deceased person who was trying to make contact to ask for prayers for the poor souls in Purgatory.
