Everyone in the procession gathered behind the cathedral before the mass. Here I am with my old friend who is in charge of one of the parishes.
Just a random shot of some of the priests. Behind them is the garden where I like to take strolls and enjoy the shade and breeze.
They are not allowed to fly the official flag of the Vatican, but they can use the colors of the Vatican to decorate. I admire the architecture of the cathedral to the right and the bell tower to the left.
Here is a long shot of theside of the cathedral lookg from the front to the back. This is the left side where the women sit. The doors are not opened until the procession has begun. The doors are not only in the back, but also all along the side. They are moveable walls of hand-carved wood.
These are some pictures the students wanted me to take with them.
Below is a video of the singers. They are very involved with the cathedral and with charity in the village.
