I know this comment is too late but I just saw this post. I asked my priest this year why we visit 7 churches. His response was that in the old days the Pope used to visit 7 hills that outlook the city and from there he used to pray and bless the city. Since most cities do not have 7 hills it was replaced with 7 churches.

Zyara makbouli, have a blessed holy week… yesterday a friend ask me, why we visit 7 churches at that day i was unable to answer her. i asked someone to get that answer:” we visit 7 churches this symbolise the 7 secrets of the church,,,”
another question came to my mind, “what are the 7 secrets of the holy church???” does anyone know the answer??!!!!
