Gladvin George Blog #1 – St. Peter’s Basilica

This is a picture of St. Peter’s Basilica in Italy. I got the opportunity to visit different places in Italy and this was one of those places. Being there, I felt so humbled. I was standing next to hundreds of years of history and the presence around the Vatican was unlike any other. I had the chance to climb up to the dome of the basilica and the view from up there was just breath-taking. Seeing the basilica and the things around it made me feel small, like I was a part of something much much bigger in the world. It was just an amazing opportunity to visit the Vatican. While I was there, the Pope was addressing the crowd so that was something special, too.  The basilica itself was quite amazing. The detail and the grandeur of both the outside and the inside of the basilica truly stamped the Vatican as central to Roman Catholicism. Definitely, 10/10 recommend exploring Italy and visiting the historical sites.
