reche Just a few pictures from our tour of the Vatican are displayed above. One of many ancient maps of Italy in the Vatican Museum. Some display the various regions in ancient times but this is one of the whole country. The map is quite huge.
Also shown is a photo of the Creche (Nativity scene) erected in the Basilica. Some of the figures moved. The statue shown in the third picture is of Saint Peter, the first Pope. The digits of his foot have disappeared over time due to the many people who have planted a kiss on it. Finally one of many frescoes in and about the Vatican. This one of Michael casting Satan into hell.
