Rome, Italy - Easter 2011

I was fortunate to be in Rome this year for the Easter celebrations.  Here are some of my favourite images from that time which include images of the Via Crucis acted by the international students of the Emmanuel School of Mission in Rome.  For more information on the Emmanuel School of Mission, please see http://www.esm-rome.com/
