Ps21 - St Peter Basilica Rome

*from: Francesca of Rome Italy

BASILICA OF ST. PETER'S: LIVING HEART OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ..

The Basilica of Saint Peter (Latin: Basilica Sancti Petri), officially known in Italian as the Basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano and commonly known as St. Peter's Basilica, is located within the Vatican City. It occupies a "unique position" as one of the holiest sites and as "the greatest of all churches of Christendom".

St. Peter's is famous as a place of pilgrimage, for its liturgical functions and for its historical associations. It is associated with the papacy, with the Counter-reformation and with numerous artists, most significantly Michelangelo. As a work of architecture, it is regarded as the greatest building of its age..

Thanks so much Francesca for sending such a wonderful Postcards to me, all postcards is very beautiful and amazed me lots..! really makes my day today..:)

I am so happy to have found your blog. I was looking at Ana of World of Postcards when I chanced upon your blog in her list. I, too, am a postcard-swapper with a blog. I would love to exchange postcards, and bloglinks, with you. THanks.

Greetings from Land Below The Wind @ Sabah, I’m Carol, 48 and had lived all my life here in Borneo Island of Malaysia, wonderful place surrounding by the beauty of nature..nice & friendly peoples around.

My greatest passion..of course collecting postcard & stamps from all over the world! :) thanks to PostCrossing for giving such opportunity to all postcard lovers:) I do like traveling but I’m not lucky enough for that :), but somehow via postcrossing, feels like I have been traveling all around to so many place! :-)..its been 16 years since I joined postcrossing and my collection keeps growing immensely.. thanks to everyone!

It’s a great feeling to open my postbox and knowing that postcard is there (instead of bills, statements, invoices, etc…..). Postcard arrived from someone somewhere in this world, at least we have a good reason to visit post office more often than usual, don’t you? :)

Peace & Love from Borneo Island..
