I went to the Vatican to see the Sistine Chapel, which does not permit photos. Frankly, I was underwhelmed. Everyone knows about the Sistine Chapel. I expected it to be magnificent, but was quite stunned at its diminutive size.
St. Peter’s Basilica was an entirely different matter.

Rich, luxurious, and completely bathed in sunbeams.

Kudos to the architect. The glorious sunbeams were absolutely breathtaking.

Tu es Petrus indeed. Walk into St. Peter’s Basilica and you expect the angels to be singing Handel’s Messiah from the rooftops.
