Missy Skoog’s visit to Vatican City
Visiting Vatican City felt like stepping into a living masterpiece—every corner exuding centuries of art, history, and spiritual significance. As we entered through the grand Vatican Museums, we were immediately awestruck by the sheer scale and beauty of the collection, from ancient sculptures to Renaissance masterpieces. The Sistine Chapel was the highlight of our visit, where we stood beneath Michelangelo’s iconic frescoes, completely mesmerized by the intricate details and the way the light danced across the ceiling.
Afterward, we wandered through the awe-inspiring St. Peter’s Basilica, its vast interior leaving us speechless. The grand dome, designed by Michelangelo, loomed above us, while statues, altars, and stained glass windows added to the overwhelming sense of reverence and beauty. We even had the chance to climb to the top of the dome for panoramic views of St. Peter’s Square and the city beyond—an unforgettable perspective of the heart of Catholicism.
Throughout the visit, the quiet reverence and spiritual atmosphere of the Vatican made it more than just a historical site; it felt like a place where centuries of faith and artistry converge. Whether it was standing in awe of the art or simply taking in the peaceful gardens, every moment at the Vatican was a profound experience, one that left us with a deep appreciation for its cultural and spiritual significance.
