Many months have passed since this blogger posted anything here.
The reason for the resurrection - a journey.
A visit to the Eternal City and a nation nestled within this city - Vatican.
O ! Vatican, here comes one of your humble lambs.
After a long gap the foothill farmer made up his mind to return to this space again.
But it was not easy.
He found it hard to recollect the name of the blog itself.
Just had a vague idea. [ The space between the words, came in the way.]
Then the the password became the problem; it had faded from memory.
This was also resolved.
Hence these words...........
If any one ever finds this page - as you have done now :
All I have to say is à´¸്à´µാà´—à´¤ം ' welcome my dear friend '
This is a journey like no other.
From childhood stories of this place had lived with him.
53 years long years............
And finally a journey to set foot on the land his forefathers told him was the holy see.
Italy
One of the most beautiful countries in the world.
Rome
The capital of Italy, the city has a history of 2500 years. For 1000 years Rome was the most powerful country in the world.
The Vatican.
Vatican is inside the city of Rome and is among the most important historical sites in the world.
Holy See, is the central governing body of the Catholic Church. It consists of the Pope and the Roman Curia. Curia is the administrative structure of the Holy See.
Vatican is the smallest independent country in the world. It is only 100 acres in area and sits on a short hill- Vatican hill. The city's international border with Italy is a stone wall.
Vatican is a sovereign country recognised by international law. In this map, the countries shown in green has diplomatic relationship with Vatican., while those in grey do not.
The city has an amazing collection of artifacts, some exhibited in the Vatican Museum .
St. Peter's Basilica, the biggest church on earth is here.
Construction of the Basilica, began in 1506 and was completed in 1626
It covers an area of 5.7 acres and took 120 years to build.
So a succession of Popes and architects were involved;
their combined efforts resulting in the present building.
The Basilca we see today is built over the one consturcted by Emperor Constantine in 324 AD;
which was more than one thousand years old by then,
and was showing signs of deterioration.
Constantine's Basilica.
Renowned renaissance architects like Bramante, Raphael (1514) and Antonio da Sangallo the Younger (1538) Baldassarre Peruzzi (1520) were invoved.
Finally in 1547, Pope Paul III commissioned Michaelangelo to finish the the remaining work including the famous Dome.
Michelangelo's master -piece Piate is in this Basilica.
The Pope, who is the Bishop of Rome, resides next to it.
