(Why did the three wise men have ashes in their beards? Because they had just come from afar.)

Very moving and touching pictures. Coincidence or not, the beautiful rainbow is a great sign of hope.
To: Tarkin
I couldn't resist returning to these pictures again, especially struck by the strong and weathered faces of the two old men handing the Pope the votive candle. Three survivors of the 20th century, that horror behind them, but visiting in the 21st century with their lives an example for us all.
