My friend John Sonnen of Orbis Catholicus has some great photos from the recognizable Gesu e Maria on the Corso in Rome, where the older form of Mass is celebrated on Sundays.
Long time readers will remember I that I had some pretty spiffy photos there of moments during Holy Communion. John caught the same moments.

Nice!

Wow, absolutely beautiful!
Glorious pictures, especially with the sun streaming in!
