Vatican city: St Peter is considered as the first Pope of Christianity. He was crucified in Rome. At the site of his tomb, the imposing St Peter's church was built. He is shown with two keys, one for the first church and the second for the gates of the heaven, as he is supposed to guard the gates of heaven. The ring worn by the pope is called St Peter's ring. In these days journalists and TV from all over the world are gathered in Rome for the election of the new pope. I learned about the Pope and the Vatican from the books of Australian author Morris West, such as "Devil's Advocate". Today's images have statue of St Peter outside the St. Peter's church.

वेटीकेन सिटीः संत पीटर को ईसाई धर्म का पहला धर्मगुरु माना जाता है, जिन्हें रोम में सूली पर चढ़ाया गया था. जहाँ इनकी कब्र थी वहाँ पर संत पीटर नाम का विशाल चर्च बनाया गया. उनके हाथ में दो चाभियाँ दिखायी जाती हैं, एक चाभी पहले गिरजाघर की है और दूसरी स्वर्ग की, क्योंकि इन्हें स्वर्गद्वार का रक्षक कहते हैं. पोप जो अँगूठी पहनते हैं उसे संत पीटर की अँगूठी कहते हैं. आजकल रोम में दुनिया भर के पत्रकार और टीवी जमा हैं क्योंकि नये पोप का चुनाव हो रहा है. वेटीकान तथा पोप के बारे में समझ, मुझे आस्ट्रेलिया के लेखक मोरिस वेस्ट की किताबों, जैसे कि "डेविल्स एडवोकेट" (शैतान का वकील), से मिली. आज की तस्वीरों में वेटीकेन में संत पीटर गिरजाघर के द्वार पर बनी संत पीटर की मूर्ती.

Città del Vaticano: San Pietro è considerato il primo Papa della cristianità. Era stato crocifisso a Roma. Sul sito della sua tomba, fu costruito la basilica di San Pietro. Lui è rappresentato con due chiavi - una per entrare nella prima chiesa e l'altra per entrare in paradiso, in quanto lui è considerato il guardiano delle porte del paradiso. L'anello portato dal Papa si chiama l'anello di San Pietro. In questi giorni, i giornalisti e le tv di tutto il mondo sono radunati a Roma per le elezioni del nuovo Papa. Avevo conosciuto il mondo del Papa e del Vaticano nei libri del autore australiano  Morris West, da suoi libri come "l'Avvocato del Diavolo". Le immagini di oggi hanno la statua di San Pietro all'entrata della basilica di San Pietro.

    1. Thanks Sudha. Unfortunately at Vatican, they don't write the names of sculptors underneath the statues. :)
