| Joseph Ratzinger - Benedictus XVI, April 27, 2005: First Papal Audience (Vatican City in St Peter’s Square). Almost by accident, I found myself on the front row among a multitude who gathered at St Peter’s Square. I took the picture just as Pope Benedict’s right shoe stepped out of the shade of the fabric vestibule into the sunlight (as he and the bishops and cardinals remained in the shade). |
