Ode to Roman Shrines

All around Italy, you will find evidence of Italians deep-seeded faith in the Catholic religion.   Shrines, and beautifully painted murals of the Mother Mary are as ubiqutous in Italy as homemade pasta.

But, much more beautiful.  And colorful.

Here are some photos of my favorites in Rome.

I love the soft focus colors and the pastel palette.  They are religious frescos for all to appreciate- not just someone museum-hopping or church-going.

Just more examples of why I love the living museum called life in Italy!  And they don't charge admission.
