Vatican City

Today is Easter Sunday, and while St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican City would normally be packed for the Pope’s Easter Service, it is empty. The Vatican, like Italy, is in lockdown to prevent the spread of Coronavirus. This Overview was captured years before quarantine went into effect, but still illustrates the quiet of a normally bustling cultural attraction. Pope Francis’ Easter Homily was streamed live today from St. Peter’s Basilica to millions around the world.
