First picture is the pope splashing Holy Water. Note the positioning of the umbrella.
(Remind you of Holy Trinity in Egypt?)
Easter morning, Alyx and I trecked out to Vatican City in hopes of being able to stand outside St. Peters Square and hearing mass- and maybe seeing some of it on the screen. Turns out we were mis-informed and you didnt really need a ticket to get into the square, they were only to get into the seating area. We got a pretty good spot to watch mass but it poured the ENTIRE time except for communion. Most of the time we only got to watch on the screen but it was totally worth it.
The second picture I think pretty much defines our time in Rome- Lots of rain!
The last one is of Pope Benedict giving his Sunday Blessing which he always does at noon. This was his Easter Sunday Blessing.
