Sunday Church Phot-o' the Day: the Basilica of Notre Dame de Fourvière, Lyon, France (with St. John Paul II)


It's Sunday. Time to go to church. Today's photo is La Basilique Notre Dame de Fourvière in Old Town Lyon, France.  I visited in June 2016.

La Basilique Notre Dame de Fourvière is a beautiful basilica, in a beautiful physical setting, with a beautiful and magnificent collection of religious art inside.  It is located on a hillside overlooking the City of Lyons, with excellent views of the city.  And it has St. John Paul II outside to welcome visitors, albeit in statuary form.  Contrary to the angle at which this photo was taken, St. John Paul II most certainly is not trying to push the basilica down the hill into the Saône River.  Now why would he do such a thing?
