I don't think I could do justice by commenting, so there are just photos. The one event I did not attend was the lighting of the candles in the John Paul II Alley, but Arbiter documented it much better than I could have. ETA: so did B@di and Slawek.

I wanted to thank you for linking to these in DMT. It's been many a year since the Catholic Church and I saw eye-to-eye on much, but His Holiness was a good man, and will continue to be missed long after the flags are put away and the candles burnt to nothing.

Thank you so much for sharing these. I'm neither Catholic nor very knowledgeable about the late Pope, but it's moving and enlightening to see a glimpse of what it's like over there.
