It has taken some time to collect my thoughts about this visit. These buildings are incredibly beautiful and the detail in the architecture, paintings, sculptures, and decorations throughout are just stunning. It is hard however to appreciate the artistry in such a chaotic setting. There were so many people there to appreciate these historic and religious sights that it almost takes away from the peacefulness of these buildings. They have so much history and when you walk in you feel the energy change. The demeanor of the people is different from on the street - a respect for what these buildings represent.
What is also remarkable to me is the scale of the buildings. They are very elaborate in their size and their decoration. Power, stability is what they represent and that is interesting considering the history that the Church has faced. Those that believe, believe passionately and that can create a contagious faith in their reality. This is what people come from all over the world to see - the faith and passion in religion and in it’s history.
