Yesterday in Malta

Below you will find pictures of the Mosta Dome in Malta. It was breathtakingly beautiful.

The people of Malta are 95% Roman Catholic. The picture of the bomb relates to the following story: On a Sunday morning during WWII, 300 people were attending mass. Axis Forces dropped bombs on Mosta Dome. Two hit the dome and landed elsewhere. One went right through the dome, it did not go off and no one was injured. The people of Malta refer to this as a miracle. When I get back, I will show you a picture I took of how the dome looked after the bomb had gone through it.

The bomb is large--approximately 3-4 feet long, about 1 1/2 feet in diameter.
