Iwas in Rome standing outside St. Peter’s basilica when a thought crossed my mind: Am I entering a church or a museum? I was perfectly at bliss standing in line to enter one of the most famous architecture in the world. As I wandered through its interior, the more confused I was. Can this be considered as an art gallery? I had musings in my head to fill a notebook.
I had little knowledge about the church. I was astounded to discover it has eight chapels, 24 altars, and about 40 statues. I was bowled over by its grandeur. The moment I looked up, it was hard to look down. Why would you? The hymns and prayers seemed to be coming from above.
Two reasons drew me to the place. One was the movie ‘Da Vinci Code’ starring Tom Hanks as the lead Robert Langdon; the other was my running away from my problems.
