My niece performed for the Pope this morning

[rapmarks]

she teaches in Padua and as part of the schools centennial celebration they had an audience with the pope. Student harpists performed and my niece was part of quartet that performed two songs. My sister was there, saw my sisters video live and then watched utube. Many close ups of my niece and the Pope was sitting on the stage several yards away.
utube. papa Francesca Aula PaolaVI Udienza. 2019-03-24. First five minutes showspope entering and my niece singing. Last few minutes shows him greeting performers and some in audience, so warm and embracing.

Wow, what a day!!!! She did a fantastic job, most impressive. Congratulations to her, and to you and your family.
Handel's Messiah still gives me goose bumps like nothing else.
(And please don't watch me too closely, I might have a tear in my eye as well.)

For those interested, she did finally get to greet him personally, and shook his hand at the 50:38 mark.

How wonderful, thanks for sharing!

And, I just finished watching the last episode of entire series of The Borgias a few minutes before watching the video, so I feel like I've spent the last couple of weeks in the presence of the Pope - of a different sort!

An additional benefit, contacting long lost cousins all over the country, and someone has got the branch who lives in Italy involved. They all want to meet Sasha.
