This is Karen and I at the Trevi Fountain.
Karen at the Pantheon. Pan = many and theon or theos =gods. This is where Romans would go for one stop shopping to worship the many gods they had. In the early years of Christianity the problem was not that Christians were adding another God, the problem was they said God was the ONLY God. Not so different from today where people don't want to say Christianity is the Only way. Something to think about however. Those Roman Gods are no more. Christ still lives in our hearts.
The inside is spectacular.
Bernini created this beautiful fountain representing the four major rivers at the time.
Keriann joined us today. We climbed to the top of St. Peters. What a view!
Had a beautiful dinner and walk to the hotel with a full moon.
Tomorrow, we go see the Coliseum and the Roman Forum. Goodnight!
PD the more pictures you put up the more jealous I become, I vividly remember studying many of the areas you are visiting at WOU.
