Day at the Vatican for the canonization mass in Saint Peter's Basilica, for 5 new Saints. However, I was there to honor the life of Father Damian, the first Saint from the Aloha State. It was a very nice mass, but unfortunately I had to watch the whole thing from the square itself. Oh yeah, and stand the whole time. That is OK though, I enjoyed this very unique opportunity.
Papa Benedicto (Pope Benedict) at the beginning of the mass, after the procession in, sanctifying the main altar with incense.
This is him reading (in Italian) the remarks about each of the saints lives and miracles.
