Angels and Demons

Friday, September 25, 2009

While in Rome last month my friend Joanne and I took a tour of the city based on Dan Brown's best seller, Angels and Demons. We had a great guide and saw most of the key locales that were in the book. As we crossed over the Ponte Sant' Angelo on our way to the Castel these angels, each representing key events in Christ's life stood tall and almost brooding in the overcast day.

Castel Sant' Angelo

Friday, August 21, 2009



I'm headed to Italy soon and Castel Sant' Angelo is one of my stops while in Rome. Built in 117-138 AD by the Emperor Hadrian as his mausoleum, it was used as a Papal "hideout" or sanctuary in times of strife between the church and its adversaries. It is also feature prominently in the movie "Angels and Demons". One thing of note.... The whereabouts of Hadrian's remains is still a mystery.
