A lavishly photographed pilgrimage through Rome conducted by Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, with over fifty full-page photographs (including colour plates) by the celebrated portraitist Yousuf Karsh, and text by acclaimed travel writer H. V. Morton. The book journeys from the Appian Way through the great churches, shrines, and relatively unknown corners of Rome, culminating in an audience with Pope John XXIII. A striking mid-century Catholic travel and photography title, uniform with the companion volume "This Is the Mass."
