Lightning Appears To Strike St. Peter's Basilica Hours After Pope Benedict XVI Announces Resignation.
Lightning appeared to strike St Peter's Basilica in Vatican City on Monday just hours after Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation, according to the BBC. The lightning strike happened around 6 p.m. local time.
Global news agency Agence France-Presse was the first to publish the startling photo of a lightning bolt coming out of the heavens and appearing to strike the dome of St Peter's Basilica, one of Catholicism's holiest sites.
On Monday, Benedict announced he will resign from the papal office on Feb. 28 due to health concerns. He is the first pope to do so in nearly 600 years.
Was it just Mother Nature or a sign from God?
Are we really in the end times?

Fear don catch me!hian!
ReplyDeleteThis is just the begining!
ReplyDeleteHow was the newspaper able to capture a split second event with such graphic details?
ReplyDeleteOnly two possible explanations may suffice; the rig and gear were set up well before hand in anticipation of the event or it was photoshopped.
Anyone with some experience in lithography or basic physics would be inclined to believe the latter since this is a stand alone and not a recurring phenomena.
I share your views Obinna! Kind of surprising how d picture was captured.. Perhaps it was anticipated truly.... I leave it to God!
