It was a cold January day. No, not just cold, but that bone coooldd, yeah, the single digital cold bordering on the sub minus. Then add a few bonus points, the wind chill factor.

Here I was, standing in front of a basilica that millions from all around the world have come to view and experience! Heck, lower the temps, I'm all in- ready to be one of the chosen who have come seeking blessings and have left healed and forever grateful.

In truth, it was challenging to get some broader scope outdoor shots- the steps had been roped off because of the ice, the roofs full of snow drop their loads periodically, and I was more than anxious to get inside, favoring enough time to save all ten of my fingers.
