A Holy morning and sunset along the Tiber river
... shame they cannot hold very many masses there due to the volume of tourism. Bernini built the canopy inside St. Peter's (see photo below). You can attend mass and have your silent prayers heard usually on Sunday mornings with the Pope at a certain time, however in September he is only offering a blessing from his home on Wednesday's. If you cannot have your prayers heard by the Pope in person, then there is a solid gold cross inside St. Peter's that ...

A hall full of beautiful tapestries. Intricate frescos and lots of ...
Rome-ing Around. Haha!
... went on through Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum. So I got to wander around ancient Rome's "downtown" and eavesdrop on many guided tours along the way. I visited Cesar Augustus' house, and also got to see the Temple of Vesta where the 6 Vestal Virgins are immortalized in marble. History tells the story of how these women were chosen by the emperor for their beauty and had to keep Vesta's eternal flame burning. If the flame went out or if they didn't keep ...
