Easter religious celebrations in Rome Italy

If you have read my other post about Easter in Rome, I had mentioned this religious celebration here in Italy  is now more associated with chocolate eggs, colomba and lamb.  However, as you can see from the two videos below, there are many people who still participate in the religious celebrations held on Good Friday at the Colosseum and the Easter Sunday Mass at the Vatican.

This video will give you a glimpse of the number of people taking part in the Way of the Cross (Via Crucis) on Friday.

The next short video clip gives you a sense of the atmosphere at St. Peter’s Square on Easter Sunday. The day was cloudy but the setting was beautiful.
