Venice

We started off Venice with morning Mass at St. Mark's Basilica on the Venetian island of San Marco.  The basilica had an ancient feeling to it and appeared to have Masses being said consistently during the day even as tourists were ushered through in small tour groups.

Fr. Voigt said Mass in the St. Theodore chapel which included a large painting of St. Theodore and also a statue of Pope St. Pius X.

The outside of St. Mark's was very ornate. This picture displays one of the four bronze horseman. You will have to talk to Dr. D'Amico about the story of the four horsemen, but be sure you have plenty of time when you ask him about it.

Here is a potpourri of Venetian pictures.
