I visited St. Peter's Basilica today. It turns out that the Pope was delivering a mass on the large screens in the square so it was quite crowded. There was also a mass inside the Basilica. There were hundreds of people there. I saw the Pieta (left) for the second time in my life. I saw if first at the New York World's Fair in 1964. At the World's Fair I could get very close. Today it is behind glass in the Basilica because of past vandalism. It is much more powerful when seen up close.
