We arrived in late afternoon at the St Peters Square after city tour and our luck the lines waiting was short and we went through very strict security like going on a airplane
And there are the dress police
No short pants no woman with sexy provocative clothing
Passing all that we in and again awesome
Breathtaking big and we could study and look at the Pieta sculpting at ease because of no tourist
Walking and looking and just wonder at the skill of craftsmen and the decor
The sitting area is cordoned off and reserved for special guests and nuns and we could see a mass service is aproaching
But we the plebs are cordoned off and kept away with strong security inside
I talked to one official explained our situation about being South African and maybe can he allows us to attend
After some discussing with higher up request was granted
What a experience to hear and sit procedure is the same as in South Africa but all in Latyn
Lovely choir too bigger than in our church
Only thing short was the Pope he only came later the evening with the white helicopter which touched down one block away from our monastery
It was a very touching service and I was very lucky to has the opportunity
We went out to another monastery for dinner. This Bonus monastery yes it is the correct name is serving dinner to travelers
Good meal lovely pasta and some Pollo and sweets and cheeses
Many thanks for reading our story
Blessings to you and your family
