Because of the COVID19, the feast of the Faculty of Theology of the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross 2021 was held on April 15 and not on the feast of St. Thomas Aquinas, as usual.
In the Aula Magna there were presentations by Professors Javier Domingo and Ralf van Bühren on St. Peter's Basilica and the tomb of the saint. After the explanation, small groups of students went to St. Peter's Basilica for a guided visit by the Missionaries of Divine Revelation, sisters who for years have included catechesis through art as a means to exercise their charism.
With surprise we learned the stories behind so many details in such an emblematic Basilica and with even more surprise we saw Pope Francis, who was inside the temple participating in a funeral.
