Chapter 390: The Vatican
readx;
After chatting with the four girls for a while, when Liu Tao returned the tableware, the group left the hotel. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Take the metro from the metro station in Plaza de EspaΓ±a to the Vatican.
Get out of the subway station and follow the flow of people.
Didn't go far to see St. Peter's Square and the Cathedral.
And, of course, there are the queues, which form an arc along the perimeter of St. Peter's Square.
When the group walked to a graystone line in front of the square, Wang Zixuan pointed to the underground line and said with a smile: "This should be the border between the Vatican and Italy mentioned on the Internet." β
Wang Zixuan walked across the line and said with a smile: "We have come to another country. β
Zhang Kaili smiled: "These countries in Europe are so interesting, you can go back and forth between the two countries at will." β
Xu Qing was not embarrassed, she walked with Wang Zixuan generously, she liked the feeling of playing side by side with Wang Zixuan, and said with a smile: "It is very convenient to go to European countries with a Schengen visa." β
Liu Tao stepped on both sides of the gray line with his feet and said with a smile: "Wait for me, take a photo, I am stepping on the two countries now." β
Zhang Kaili also returned and said with a smile: "I'll take a picture too." β
Wang Zixuan looked at Xu Qing and smiled: "Don't you shoot?" β
"No more shooting." Xu Qing didn't want to repeat their photos.
Wang Zixuan smiled: "Why don't we hold hands and stand in two countries to take a picture." β
Hearing Wang Zixuan say this, Xu Qing was immediately moved, and said with a smile: "If you don't want to go back and kneel on the washboard, I have no opinion." β
Wang Zixuan took Xu Qing's hand and said with a smile: "It's worth kneeling nails." β
Xu Qing glanced at Wang Zixuan, and obediently followed Wang Zixuan to the national border.
Wang Zixuan gave the camera to Liu Tao, who had finished shooting, and said, "Sister Tao will help us take a picture." β
"Okay."
Liu Tao took the camera with a smile.
Wang Zixuan grabbed Xu Qing's hands, looked at Xu Qing and said with a smile: "We look at each other for ten seconds, whoever dodges first will lose." β
Xu Qing blinked and said, "Okay." β
Wang Zixuan smiled: "Don't blink." β
"Okay."
Wang Zixuan didn't speak again, but looked at Xu Qing affectionately.
Not to be outdone, Xu Qing discharged electricity to Wang Zixuan.
Liu Tao stepped back and filmed the picture of the two looking at each other and the national border extending in the distance.
Of course. Many other reporters who followed also took this picture.
But no one can figure out if this is a show or real.
Anyway, the photos exposed in the past two days will be considered part of "Sister Over Flowers".
"Bang Bang Bang"
The two of them looked at each other affectionately, and their hearts beat much faster.
Looking at the perfect opposite sex in front of them, both of them couldn't help but lean forward.
Looking at each other getting closer and closer, the hearts of the two people beat much faster.
Seeing that the lips of the two people were about to touch, Xu Qing closed her eyes a little shyly.
It's so soft.
Wang Zixuan touched Xu Qing's lips lightly, and then separated, and said with a smile: "Sister Qing lost." β
Xu Qing opened her eyes, glanced at Wang Zixuan, and said, "Just now it was enough for ten seconds." β
Wang Zixuan smiled: "It's definitely not enough." β
Zhang Kaili smiled on the side: "Are you two performing a kiss between two countries?" β
"Yes."
Wang Zixuan and Xu Qing blinked. Let go of Xu Qing's hand and said, "Shall we go to St. Peter's Basilica first, or go to the Vatican Museums first?" β
Liu Tao walked over, returned the camera to Wang Zixuan and said, "I took a few photos, you can see if it's okay." β
Wang Zixuan smiled: "The level of the fourth sister is definitely okay." β
Zhang Kaili asked, "What advice does the little brother have?" Let's start with that. β
Wang Zixuan said with a smile: "I think it's better to see St. Peter's Basilica first, and then the Vatican Museums." To visit St. Peter's Basilica, you must climb to the top, although there is an elevator to get around, but the elevator can only take half the distance. There are still hundreds of steps to climb. I saw on the Internet that the back steps are not easy to climb, and now my sisters are more energetic, and I am afraid that I will be more tired after visiting the Vatican Museums and then climbing to the top. And it's not too hot now. β
Zhang Kaili smiled: "I just said that the little brother is thoughtful. I think it's good, what do you think? β
Zhao Jing nodded and said, "Well, let's look at St. Peter's Basilica first." β
Wang Zixuan stretched out his hand and said, "Sisters, please." Let me first introduce you to St. Peter's Square.
St. Peter's Square was designed by the famous Baroque architect Bernini and can accommodate up to 500,000 people. It is the place where the Holy See holds large religious events. The construction of the square took 11 years from 1656~1667.
A total of 284 round dwellings and 88 square pillars on the sides are combined into four rows to form three corridors. The column is 18 meters high. At the top of the column are 142 famous Christian saints and saints. All were carved by Bernini and his students.
The obelisk in the center of the square was originally an Egyptian building, and Caligula, the third Roman emperor, was brought from Egypt in 40 AD to decorate the circular square next to the palace. In 1586, Pope Sistine V ordered the stele to be moved to St. Peter's Square. It is said that more than 900 workers, 150 horses and 47 lifting devices were used for the relocation, which took nearly five months. When it was shipped from Egypt, I don't know how much manpower it took. β
Zhang Kaili looked at the carving on the pillar and said, "The baroque carving is indeed gorgeous. β
The five people lined up on the side of the square, and Wang Zixuan said: "The standard name of St. Peter's Basilica is St. Peter's Basilica, designed by Michelangelo and others, and it is the first of the five cathedrals in the world.
This obelisk is also said to be associated with Peter.
It is said that during the reign of the Roman Emperor Nero in 64 AD, Peter was a missionary to Rome and was martyred here. His death was the martyrdom of one of many Christians after the Great Fire of Rome. At Peter's request, he was crucified with his head down because he did not consider himself worthy to die in the same way as Jesus. The cross is near Nero's ancient Egyptian obelisk.
Peter was one of Jesus' 12 disciples and his closest and most loyal disciple. His original name was Simon, and after following Jesus, Jesus named him Peter. St. Peter is said to be buried in this church, and in 1940 Vatican excavators claimed that they found Peter's bones under the altar. Peter was confirmed as the first head of this church and the first archbishop of Rome. His day of remembrance is June 29. Inside Peter's Cathedral there is a bronze statue of St. Peter. In the 1st century B.C., after the crucifixion of Jesus, it was recorded in the biblical book of Acts - one of his twelve disciples, Simon was called St. Peter, a fisherman from Galilee, who occupied a leading position among the followers of Jesus and had a significant influence on the founding of the Christian church. Peter means rock in Greek, praising Peter's faithfulness to Christianity. (To be continued.) )
