Thanksgiving Day in Rome

No turkey for us today!  Our lunch on the go was pizza and spinach on chiabata.  We visited several amazing basilicas today and even the church which holds the steps that Jesus walked on when he was condemed to death by Pilate. The hightlight of the day was mass in the Catacomb of Callisto.  Father Brock explained how Christians in the early church, including Peter and Paul, celebrated mass there. It reminded us how blessed we are to be a part of a beautiful tradition handed down for centuries.  Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
