ON Sunday, June 4th, 2017, red rose petals will cascade through the oculus of Hadrian's Pantheon in Rome.
The event commemorates the ancient Roman spring festival as well as Christian Pentecost.
Rome
firefighters scaled the 43-meter-high dome to pour the rose petals
through the 9-meter-wide oculus "eye opening" at the top of the historic
building.
The
ceremony, suspended for many years, was revived in 1995. It dates back
to the earliest days of Christianity when the falling rose petals
symbolized flames of Pentecostal enlightenment showering down on the
faithful.
