Palm Sunday at the Vatican



Palm Sunday Procession to the Vatican
Fancy Pant-cy, needs not other explaination!

Shot of the crowds behind us!!!  200 000 people eventually made it inside!


Security to get into the Vatican Square
The Pope!  The dude in red to the left of big J.

Yes, we made it inside the walls of the Vatican Square for the Palm Sunday 10am service.  It was quite a rigmarole to get inside and we lined up with a gizzilion other people and squeezed through the gates and then through the metal detectors.  Once inside, space opened up a bit, but it was still pretty crowded.  Everyone was waving round either their olive fronds or their palm fronds (not me, I was waving round a camera, to make sure I missed nothing)
Some dude with an axe..????
The 12 stations of the cross- well 6 of them anyway...
