Here are select photographs from my visit to the Vatican.
St. Peter's Square complete with a vandalized piece of Egyptian heritage Dome 1 Yes, that's black latter on gold background! The opulence of this place is nauseating. Jesus would not have approved! One of the Domes of St. Peter's Basilica Dome 3 Faking Divinity: I'll bet this is how they dupe believers into seeing the 'divinity' of the Vatican The artistic excellence on showcase is unparalleled Yes, that's granite fashioned to show folds of a fabric! Love the light St. Veronica - 1 Here's another example of Bernini's genius! Looks at how he has fashioned marble to show the folds of the fabric worn by St. Veronica St. Someone Else More Bernini :) Pope Alexander, I think Roof of the Sistine Chapel End Times Creation of man
