Rome — Day 4
Et Patre, Et Filious, Et Spirito Sanctus. Amen
We began our day with a Latin Mass at the Vatican. What an absolutely AMAZING experience! The students’ beautiful voices echoed off of the Bernini sculptures, the gorgeous Baldachinno, and the immense marble walls. The beauty of the Vatican is absolutely indescribable. We saw Michelangelo’s Pieta which moved some of us, mainly yours truly, to tears, and we took pictures by the Jubilee door that is only opened ever 24 years for only 24 hours. We toured the Vatican Museum and the breathtaking Sistine Chapel and then ended our evening with dinner at a restaurant called Grotto Azurre and of course, evening rehearsal. The weather was a perfect 75 degrees and breezy and even though we are all exhausted, this is a day we will surely always remember.
