Above the west door is the organ gallery. The organ has recently been rebuilt by the internationally acclaimed Kenneth Jones of Bray. The original casing has been retained and extended and the pipes have been elaborately stencilled and gilded. The organ is a four manual instrument that can be played from the gallery or at the consul at the front of the santuary. Above the organ gallery is the west window which has a central panel showing Christ conferring the keys to St Peter. On either side there are depictions of St Patrick and St Malachy, the National and Diocesan Patrons. Other panels show the Holy spirit and the heraldic arms of the Diocese and also of Pope Benedict XV. The side panels depict emblems of the Passion and a Monstrance with the Blessed Sacrament, appropriate for a Cathedral with perpetual adoration.
The Pietà sculpture by Michelangelo is now behind bulletproof glass near the rear of the church. It is his only signed work.
St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican City is one of the most popular sights to see when visiting Rome. Admission is free but security check-point lines often seem endless with no simple skip-the-line options. Turn up early in the morning or try to access the church complex directly after seeing the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican Museum. Climb the dome for some of the finest views in Rome.

According to Wikipedia, La Pieta is the first of a number of works on the same theme by Michelangelo Buonarroti. The statue was commissioned for the French cardinal Jean de Billheres, who was a representative in Rome. The sculpture, in Carrara marble, was made for the cardinal's funeral monument, but was moved to its current location, the first chapel on the right as one enters the basilica, in the 18th century. It is the only piece Michelangelo ever signed. This famous work of art depicts the body of Jesus on the lap of his mother Mary after the Crucifixion. The theme is of Northern origin, popular by that time in France but not yet in Italy. Michelangelo's interpretation of the Pietà is unique to the precedents. It is an important work as it balances the Renaissance ideals of classical beauty with naturalism. The sculpture took less than two years and its first home was the Chapel of Santa Petronilla, a Roman mausoleum near the south transept of St. Peter's, which Cardinal Billheres chose as his funerary chapel. The chapel was later demolished by Bramante during his rebuilding of the basilica. According to Giorgio Vasari, shortly after the installation of his Pieta Michelangelo overheard someone remark that it was the work of another sculptor, Cristoforo Solari, whereupon Michelangelo signed the sculpture. Michelangelo carved MICHAELA[N]GELUS BONAROTUS FLORENTIN[US] FACIEBA[T] (Michelangelo Buonarroti, Florentine, made this) on the sash running across Mary's chest. It was the only work he ever signed. Vasari also reports the anecdote that Michelangelo later regretted his outburst of pride and swore never to sign another work of his hands. In subsequent years the Pietà sustained much damage. Four fingers on Mary's left hand, broken during a move, were restored in 1736 by Giuseppe Lirioni. The most substantial damage occurred on May 21, 1972 (Pentecost Sunday) when a mentally disturbed geologist named Laszlo Toth walked into the chapel and attacked the sculpture with a geologist's hammer while shouting "I am Jesus Christ". Onlookers took many of the pieces of marble that flew off. Later, some pieces were returned, but many were not, including Mary's nose, which had to be reconstructed from a block cut out of her back. After the attack, the work was painstakingly restored and returned to its place in St. Peter's, just to the right of the entrance, between the Holy Door and the altar of Saint Sebastian, and is now protected by a bullet-proof acrylic glass panel.
Several things made this image difficult to capture: The lighting was fairly dim and the image required a high and somewhat noisy ISO, the crowd was very large and the image had to be captured over their heads, and the protective glass is highly reflective and thus I had to relocate myself several times to somewhere where those reflections did no mar the resulting image. I took some thirty shots, most of them with some part of the statute missing and others with reflections marring part of the image. This was one of only two shots worth keeping.
A personal note: I first saw La Pieta at the Vatican exhibit at the New York's World Fair of 1964-65. The statue was fairly close to the viewers and it was not then behind protective glass. Although viewing had to be done from a people mover similar to those "flat escalators" now common in airports, I had the opportunity to view it half a dozen times and can easily say that neither this photograph, nor any other I have seen, do the Pieta justice. The statue is simply a wonder to behold.

I recently found myself spending time around Falls Road in Belfast and took a few shots along the way and as my good friend Noble observed in one of his comments on this series of photos: "What a great place to gather yourself together spiritually"
Old Town Regensburg with St. Peter's Cathedral, along the Danube River.
Regensburg is situated on the northernmost part of the Danube river in Bavaria, Germany. It is one Germany's oldest towns, founded by the Romans in 179 A.D. The cathedral is a very interesting example of pure German Gothic and counts as the main work of Gothic architecture in Bavaria. As one of the few cities in Germany largely undamaged during World War II, Regensburg boasts the largest preserved medieval city center in Germany.

This is the grave of Katherine of Aragon at St. Peters Cathedral in Peterborough. Katherine was Queen of England from 1509 until 1533 as the first wife of King Henry VIII; she was previously Princess of Wales as the wife of Prince Arthur (1501 - 1502) who was Henry's older brother. She was born on 16th December 1485 and died on 7th January 1536 at Kimbolton Castle aged 51.
Peterborough Cathedral:
This is the windlass in the N.W tower of the cathedral and was used by Mediaeval stone masons for lifting large section of stone high into the towers of the cathedral. This one dates from 1370 and is the most complete example in the country and it apparently still works!
Some of the carvings on the columns in St. Peter's Cathedral portrayed angels (or other religious figures) playing musical instruments. I captured several of them.
Regensburg, Bavaria Germany St Peters Cathedral. Imposing looking street Side.
St Peter’s Cathedral is indisputably the city’s spiritual centre. When you look up towards the spires of this imposing Gothic building, you will see kings on horseback, foolish virgins, and gargoyles with animal and human faces.
Although the building works started as early as 1260, it was only finished in the 19th century. And today it is constantly under repair and restoration.
The cathedral is home of the Domspatzen, a 1000-year-old boys choir that accompanies the 10am Sunday service (only during the school year). The Domschatzmuseum (Cathedral Treasury) brims with monstrances, tapestries and other church treasures.
Given these easter times I thought that this might be a fitting photo. This is the centrepiece of the Vatican: The St. Peters cathedral which is lit up at night. As you - and the man admiring it can see it is quite an imposing sight up close. This was taken last summer a bit after this photo when the night had fallen completly. Here is another one taken the same night.
You should really watch this Large On Black since that brings out a lot more detail. My pictures aren't balanced for a white background and a lot of the finer details are lost in this small format.
