Photo Friday: A Holy Place, the Holy See, on a Holy Day


Today is Good Friday, a Holy Day, so here's a shot from the holiest place I've ever been.  St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.  The piazza is relatively uncrowded early in the morning, which was when I took this picture 
from the dome of the Vatican.

  3. Great shot! One of my boys (looking over my shoulder) said, "oh look mom its the arms scooping all the people in." I guess they do remember some things.

  4. Man, crazy to say that I have been there TWICE...actually saw Pope Benedict speak from the infamous window on St. Peter and Paul Day 2006. It's an amazing place to stand.
    Can't wait to go back.

  5. I love this Piazza. My husband and I went to Rome for our very belated (3.5 years late) honeymoon in 2007. It was such an amazing time for us. It was cold and dreary the day we visited the Vatican, but it was still amazing. And what a view! Can't wait to bring my son back one day. I have a friend leaving for Rome today and I am so jealous. Of course she used to live there so I was already jealous of her ;-)

  8. Such a great view! The Vatican was closed the one day I spent in Rome... while I was incredibly disappointed, it just means I have to go back (who only visits Rome for one day anyway?!?!) Thanks for sharing!
