Wednesday - Tour of Rome - St Paul's Outside the Walls

Today was a hectic day and I managed to take heaps of photos but am having trouble getting them to the blog - at present I am emailing them so there are not a lot to see at any one time.
This first one is from St Paul's Outside the Walls.
Rebuilt after being destroyed by fire it contains materials sent from all over the world as is a wonderful example of what can happen when people work together. It took over a century to rebuild but it is truly worth it.
After we had been the I learnt that it was also the Church where the Australian pilgrims who had travelled to the canonisation of Mary MacKillop celebrated Mass the day after the ceremony at the Vatican.
