Chosen by Pope Francis as his final resting place, Santa Maria Maggiore seems very fitting for this humble man. Except perhaps the Baroque second Sistine Chapel in Rome . . . #papafrancesco @franciscus #popefrancis #saluspopuliromani #santamariamaggiore #basilicachurch #papalbasilica #rome #romeitaly #romeitaly🇮🇹 #roma #italia #romechurches #sistinechapel #sacraculla #catholicrelics #giubileo2025 @basilicasantamariamaggiore #mosaics #mosaici #lacappellasistina
Sharing some photos of the lovely 5th century Santa Maria Maggiore where Pope Francis will be laid to rest tomorrow. He was devoted to this image of Mary and Jesus said to have been painted by Saint Luke. The other photos show this basilica style church beautifully adorned with ancient mosaics and glass. . . . #papafrancesco @franciscus #popefrancis #saluspopuliromani #santamariamaggiore #basilicachurch #papalbasilica #rome #romeitaly #romeitaly🇮🇹 #roma #italia #romechurches @basilicasantamariamaggiore #mosaics #mosaici
Like a giant erector set, the historic Chef Menteur Pass Bridge is a visual delight. It is a swing bridge built in 1929 and still in use. The third photo shows Fort Macomb from across the Pass. It was constructed in 1822 as a Third System fort but sadly has been abandoned for 158 years . . . #lakesaintcatherine #outdoors #louisiana #louisianatravel #yeslouisiana #visitlouisiana #bayou #marsh #waterway #waterways #orleansparish #oldus90 #us90 #nolalove #chefmenteurpass #swingbridge #historicbridge #fortmacomb #historicfort
