Benvenuto! You have happened upon the blog of a wandering Catholic American college student studying for a year in Rome, the Eternal City. You will find here my pontifications, ruminations, reflections, images, and ponderings on my life in Rome. Ciao!

Hi Peg - great to hear from you. One of the seminarians here is studying for Colorado Springs diocese, so we've heard quite a bit about Colorado! :)
The brightly lit window is a beautiful stained glass window depicting the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove, with rays coming out from it. Go to http://stpetersbasilica.org/Altars/Cathedra/Cathedra.htm for some pictures and information. The window itself is actually lit from behind by some lights that are always on (at least when the church is open), not by the sun.

That link should conclude "Cathedra.htm" - sorry.

It's wonderful, isn't it? Amazingly, if you want to be technical, it's not 'stained glass' at all, but alabaster. I'm not sure how thin the alabaster is to be so transparent.
