pentecoste.

The Pentecost is a Christian holy day commemortating the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples of Jesus Christ, 50 days after Easter.

My hostess, her mother and I attended Catholic mass at the Pantheon and what followed the mass was a beautiful sight.  An abundance of red rose (my favorite) petals were dropped from the dome hole at the top of the Pantheon.  Later, I found out that firefighters are the brave souls that climb to the top and shower the people with love.

Again, please forgive the quality of the video from my old point and shoot camera.
