While visiting St. John Lateran in Rome, Italy, I ran into a group of tourists posing in front of the basilica (it is one of the four main basilicas in Rome, along with St. Peter, Santa Maria Maggiore and St. Paul Outside the Walls; however, it is the oldest and actually has the highest rank of the four). Could not resist to capture -and share- the two sides of the “coin” I ran into…
St.Peter’s Basilica is the Church’s principal church but St. John Lateran is the pope’s parish/church.
Yes, I thought that too but as I read about it, I kept reading that it was first among the four basilicas in Rome. Like this article in Catholic Encyclopedia: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09014b.htm
so nicely and timely taken shots . very well done
Are they the same people? LOL
Yes!
