A Visit to the Colosseum

Our first stop in Rome was the famous Colosseum, or the Flavius Amphitheatre, built between 70-80AD. Mostly known for gladiator fights, it offered other entertainment, public executions, and  spectacles. The Romans also created a system where they could flood the stadium and perform sea battle re-enactments. Later is was used for animal hunts. The Flavius Amphitheatre is an architectural marvel and was the inspiration for modern day LEGO’s.

Today we took a high speed train from Florence to Venice and explored this unique city. Venice was built in a lagoon because it’s original inhabitants were searching for safety and security.

This little church was dedicated to the Holy Mother and he restored it. When it came time for Francis to die, they carried him in the valley to die outside the little church now named St. Mary of the Angels. His last words were for all who visit this little church to be blessed with God’s peace.  Today we paid respect to St Francis at his tomb, said prayers for the Holy Father, and was offered the opportunityu to go to confession in the hopes of forgiveness from all previous sins.  Lo
