... Beautiful sunset view sent from once more a very special placeđ... and an important one during the Holy Season... Christmas is a central and sacred religious celebration for Catholics... rising above St. Peter’s Square, St. Peter’s Basilica is a must-see when you visit Rome... as one of the most famous works of Renaissance architecture and the largest church in the world, St. Peter’s is legendary... most visitors are immediately impressed with its scale, beauty, art, sacredness, and history.... me too,☺️ as I visited it a looooong time ago on a "educational" school trip... Vatican Postal service process millions of postcards every year... a letter or postcard from the world’s smallest nation with a Vatican postmark as a souvenir is a symbol of a separate state's identity and a coveted piece of postal history and art... Heeeeel Erg Bedankt Ben, Loes, Leon en Anna! (✿◠‿◠)
