If the Living Pope is Not Around by MagicMixer
Most Sundays you could attend the Mass and the Pope is there right in front of you.But if ( e.g. he is away from Rome ) he is not there don´t forget to see the graves of the former Popes, even the very first St Peter himself.
You enter the St Peter the normal way
( remember the dressingcode , se my advice elsewhere ) and at the front there are stairs to the UNDERGROUND ( No, NOT the Metro )
Ande there they are, if not risen yet, the old Popes on Parade.In Sweden we are Protestants,and I am not really a believer anyway, but I ALWAYS like to visit Catholic churches, and you never can tell........maybe I change one day :-)
My old mother-in-law , in Poland, is , like most Polish, VERY Catholic.
Sending her a couple of postcards of the Polish Pope and back in Sweden some photos , sent me right up to "her heaven" and will surely get me a couple of extra "vodkas" at my next visit. Nastrovie !!!
