AmP Pictures: Papal Mass in Washington DC

A perfect day....

A packed house to greet the Pope. Click here for a larger version.

This is my view of the papal altar. I won't lie. They were good tickets.

The altar and local crucifix used for the Mass. Look at the seven candles!

I had to include this: every concession bought in the stadium that day rang up as "Pope Food".

Deacons conduct a pre-Mass planning session. They were placed at each level of the stadium to expedite the distribution of Communion, a very prudent and efficient way to do this on such a large scale.

And of course, what we're all here for: Pope Benedict XVI celebrates Mass.
