You don't have to be Catholic to love all the amazing art collections in Vatican City. I am an art lover.
True art even if is religious subject ha anything to do with religione itself , great artists must be' admired....
I've read the Bible so it makes you appreciate what's going on more
I m a Christian and i love vatican
The smallest country in the world with a population of 1.3 billion Catholics spread all over the world!
@Markie Reid the Catholic Church is also the largest charity organization in the world for centuries now. It is also the largest provider of health care. The one who also started the College System and University System is the same organization.
No organization is perfect. The rule of law of a country applies to everybody, there is no exemption.
Traveller LOL Protestantism has wayyyy more abuse that the Catholic Church. Get your facts straight.
@@mannywong2615 also the most expensive membership fees. I mean how many people have they robbed people of their money?
@@MisterSolitude expensive membership fee? FALSE. There is NO MEMBERSHIP FEE in the CATHOLIC CHURCH. What you are referring to is THITHES and that is BIBLICAL. TITHING depends in the country or DIOCESE you belong to. There are countries who don't require THITHING. ROBBED? FALSE. People gave their TITHES heartily. People LEAVE the CHURCH if they think it is not right. There are countries where the government is the one who collects the TITHES/Church Tax like Germany. That is why you will see the DECLINE of Christianity and other religions in Germany.
I have been here and St Peter's is absolutely beautiful! The museum are impressive with paintings, statues, etc. When you look at Michelangelo's la pieta it will bring you to tears. The floors are gorgeous. If you are not a believer, you will be upon leaving. It is absolutely amazing that a place can be so bellisimo!!!
Wow love it! The smallest city with the most beautiful and antique collections of art from the greatest artists of their time worldwide! Amazing!
I’ve been to the Vatican City, it put the hairs up on the back of my neck. Even on the outside it’s just stunning. Great video man 👍
Your footage inside the Basilica gave me chills....in a good way.
Wrong! You should have said: "it gave me chills... in a BAD way" instead. For the thousands and thousands of children victim of sexual abuse and rape from pedophiles since centuries in this religion. Disgusting. I wouldn't set foot in this place.
@@damien2339 don't be stupid the church doesn't say that abusing children is a good act. That is why ut us called "abuse" because we recognize that whoever does that is doing something wrong.
@@arolemaprarath6615 you are so true my friend
@@damien2339 it gives me chills that a person like you is an outright liar and deceptive.
For thousands and thousands of years? Hahaha funny. Where did you get this history? Hehehe
Nobody’s is forcing you to go there. How funny that there are some people like you who keeps on hallucinating. Heheh
The arts inside the St Peters Basilica building are in fact huge mosaics not paintings. Love it! The most beautiful and biggest church in the world!
FGB Dude is right. The arts on the walls were replaced by mosaic replicas and the dome embellished with mosaic and stucco ornaments.
@@heroiam4067 FGB Dude was talking about the St Peter's Basilica, NOT the Sistine Chapel hahaha!
You have visited Italy in the perfect time, in a perfect Summer, in an exceptional circumstance.
Lucky smart guy.
noo the nightclubs are still closed
@@bradleymalone1987 Yes, Rome has nice nightclubs as well.
@@pile333 lol i was joking
@@bradleymalone1987 I was not! 😉
Wow!.. that was so breathtaking!.. I was amazed by the artworks. Thank you so much Jason for sharing your experience with us that some of us won't get to experience in person in our lifetime.
Wow I had an amazing time there and bought some Vatican stamps . The popes speech on Easter Sunday was trully inspirational. Millions were there but it felt quite spacious I was impressed . One of the most memorable birthdays I’ve had .Buona giornata 😁🇮🇹💚💜🇬🇧
I was there many years ago unbelievable breathtaking exactly the way you mentioned it. I love Rome, when you're there you're alive all your senses are there
Terrific art collections of the smallest country in the word where the biggest church can be found!
is terrific the word you wanted to use?
Great job filming. We felt like we were there and it brought us so much joy. Thanks a million Jason!
Glory to God! Thank you Jason for visiting our beloved Vatican City🇻🇦from your Catholic subscriber in the Philippines 🇵🇭 More beautiful vlogs! Godbless you more!
Very nice video for seeing the Vatican better through you. Thanks
I took my 14 year old son to Rome last year. Just at the Vatican I told him to stop. He looked puzzled. I told him to take one step forward. He did so, and told him he was now in another country. At first he didn't believe me. Another great video.
Rome how I miss you. Another fantastic video Jason!
Thank you Jason. Superb as always. Ciao from Ireland. 😀☘🙏.
I ' m italian and go to Rome once a year.....Rome is magic and heartbreaking for italians too. But your point of view and your passion are special...I watch your videos with great pleasure😊
Why is it heartbreaking?
@@jessicabey275 I mean
... when you are sourrounded by too much beauty ,it is as if your heart is going to explode ...you are touched and surprised....have you ever entered the Sistina chapel or the vatican museums? Beauty and majesty everywhere....the first time in there...I bursted into tears...if you have italian friends ask them... probably they will explain better this strange feeling😊
@@antonellapassiatore3872 heartbreaking is actually a false friend in English. It means something that makes you sad
@@danielesemenzato1754 I intentionally used this adjective....I explained what I actually meant by using it...you don' t need to tell me what heartbreaking means.... I perfectly know....this is what I feel... or...do you want to tell me what my feelings are?
@@antonellapassiatore3872 I understand know 🙂
The Vlog is absolutely amazing. Loved your work.
Just watching it makes me healed.
I put my prayers out of chaos during pandemic. I used to be there years ago where there were all the crowded. Thanks
Only recently stumbled across your videos and I’m well and truly hooked. Impressed by your professionalism I shall subscribe, and look forward to your next episode.
Cheers Peter!
I’m so envious! Beautiful! Another great video Jason. ❤️
Thanks for a beautiful journey with you. I was there at Easter a few years ago and the crowds were huge. Despite the problems of 2020 people like you are able to do a better jib of showing the world to most of us. Your photo skills are the best!
I miss traveling😭😭😭.
Me too....wait, I can't say that. :)
Same :((
Same 우
Love how you portray and talk about art and architecture.
Are you planning to explore some more countries this summer Jason?
I am, but nothing decided just yet. I’m actually back in the UK thinking things over while I upload the rest of my Italy videos. How about yourself after Croatia?
@@JasonBillamTravel I see. I'm not sure where I'm going next but probably a country next to Croatia. The problem is I keep getting more recommendations for places to visit in Croatia, so it's going to be hard to get out of here! Haha. Probably go somewhere else within a couple weeks or so.
I enjoyed your video on your Vatican visit. I have been there twice but you are fortunate to be able to see it at this time because there is hardly any tourists. You were able to.immerse yourself in the beauty and grandeur of St.Peter's basilica and the Vatican Museum. I could stay for hours in the Sistine chapel, just breathtaking. I was lucky to get a photo of the ceiling as my souvenir. Your video is very informative and your pictures are great plus you show no hurry, so it is enjoyable to watch. Keep it up. Hope to see your other journeys. Thanks for sharing!
I’m so envious. The only time I was there was the day in 2013 when they selected Francis as Pope. It was certainly exciting to be there for that, except for the fact that there were a squillion other people there as well.
Hello Jason. Great to see you again...love this video. Vatican City is on my bucket list and can't wait to see it in person. Stay safe always!!!
I am glad that you started your travel again. Astonishing views of Vatican. Beautiful architecture. I want to visit Italy. Well made videos with a great music background. Well done, Jason!!! I also like your British accent😘
Wow it’s unbelievable how quiet it is in VC, did it feel quite eery? Puts it into perspective how quiet Tallinn is for us right now having seen video’s of how busy it usually is! If you go up to Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta there’s a great keyhole view Basilica San Pietro where you can also see across 3 countries! 😊
I'm so pleased that I discovered your channel while searching for videos about Vatican City. I liked that you were so respectful in your commentary and behaviour.
Beautiful Jason. You are very artistic and talented in capturing Vatican, the details and the architecture. I am fascinated with your videography skills even though I have been there many years ago.
Beautiful, I must go visit the smallest country in the world one day. 😘
Another wonderful presentation Jason, especially the fine music accompanying your entrance into the basilica which I visited in 1975 wearing my Moroccan jelaba and with my very long hair and beard a priest came up to me and said in Italian, "Jesus Christo, biene biene!" haha. I felt quite chuffed! I visited again in 1990 with my 1969 VW campervan which I managed to park directly in front of the basílica with no other cars. You certainly bring back the memories of this very awesome and spectacular place which show what man, with his belief, could achieve, even so many centuries ago. Btw you would not lose your captive audience even if you made your videos 30 minutes because you are an excellent film maker, with just enough thoughtful and interesting narration. Well done again as I continue to enjoy the memories through your superb videos during this very very crazy period of Covid-19 lockdown.
😄
I was in the Basilica last August at the end of a 5-day golf trip -- not nearly so many there at the moment! Great presentation, Jason.
Thank you for taking me back to Vatican City. The fact that it was quite desolated allowed me to see more than when I was there. Did you have a chance to visit the Vila Borghese?
Wow 😲. St Peter's Square and The Vatican City looks so amazing and breathtaking. Would love to visit it one day. 😊❤️
Very beautiful Michael Mann( the famous movie director) style of filming Jason you should consider a career in Hollywood 🙌👏👏👏👍🙏
Great video, I was there over fifty years ago. It brought back many memories. I only just discovered you, I have enjoyed all of your videos, keep them coming. Thank you from Niagara Falls, New York.
Appreciate it, Tom!
We were there this past October. The art, setting, and number of people was overwhelming. Your video allows us to see much of it, without the distraction of noise and people. The reasons for this are sad, but I appreciate the opportunity. Thanks for the guide and the memories.
I’m still jealous as to how you keep your beard so kempt all the time haha
Thank you for a comprehensive tour. I found it really interesting. And it must have been a lot of work on your part!
Another great video Jason! Thanks for sharing! 😁
Love your videos don't only have great cinematic style but also are educational, something that's obviously missing from nowadays' travel vids. Keep up the good work! 👍
Another fantastic video Jason and perfect music inside St Peters. We have been there a few times but we learnt a lot from your commentary. Thank you...we loved it!
I gotta go to visit the Vatican Museum!!! Love your work!
Jason, your photography is amazing. We were supposed to be returning to Florence in March, just before everything shut down. Who knows when we will be able to travel from the US again...we are such a mess here. Thank you for your TH-cam channel. I appreciate your efforts. Watching your shows was just what I needed today. Thank you.
So lucky to be there when less tourists.. There were hundreds wandering around and talking loudly when i was there!
I can definitely relate to being awestruck at the fact that the Vatican is its own country when crossing the barrier between Italy and the papacy. Excellent video! Really makes me miss Rome and seeing SPQR everywhere!
Hii really excellent super vedio.good effort excellent sculpture.everything so wonderful no words.to express
So lucky that you get to see beautiful Italy without the crowds. Love living vicariously through you.
Goosebumps what a beautiful arts from Michael angelo.thank you Jason for sharing
Sometimes I can’t believe I was actually there so so beautiful
Great video as always! Thank you for taking us there ✌🏽
My second visit to St Peters was very special travelling with my cousin (brought up in the catholic faith) purchased a rosary in Assisi and asked one of the ushers was there a priest available to bless the rosary he ushered us through to a very very side chapel where a priest blessed the rosary in Italian I am not a catholic but was one of the most moving things that I have been privileged to witness
Great video... i have been twice to the Vatican and you are lucky with hardly any tourist. When we were there ..... there were line ups for hours.!!!!
Wow, I’m very lucky indeed
Nice videos jason .....
Love from india...Kolkata❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for this amazing footage YOUR DOING A FREST JOB
In the Basilica of St Paul Outside the Walls in Rome, you will see the mosaic photos of the first pope St Peter to the present one Pope Francis. Currently the 9th largest church in the world.
Very cool, I missed that. Too many places to see in Rome!
FABULOUS VIDEO OF THE VATICAN CITY !
The Vatican is just so beautiful ; you get this awesome feeling of the divine within St. Peter’s Basilica. Even if you are not Catholic … even if you are not Christian, you would have to agree that within its walls are some of the most important, most well known works of art and architecture that literally define the human experience. What a great video , thank you!
Yeah the land of the rapists and murders is sooooo beautiful
It's So Amazing and Beautiful! Great video tour my friend.
I have lived in Italy for 12 years. Have had many people visit. Always take them to the Vatican Museum. I can't stand religious sites but do it as a good host. Two things that make my day are the two spots in the main square where if you stand on it/them, the 4 rows of columns become one. Very cool. The other is the Map Room. Being a geographer by education it is just fantastic. And the ceiling is unbelievable. You are there during the pandemic, so no crowds. However, that will change. I always, and I mean always, book a tour. Well worth the money (about 50 euro). No lines. A knowledgeable guide and you get to go everywhere. If you just go without a tour or an advance reservation, the wait is several hours! And on Wednesdays (in normal times), the Pope runs around the square in the Popemobile. Like a rock star.
Roy Heffner most of the most famous paintings in the world are in some form religious related .The Sistine Chapel was probably painted by Michelangelo with a God in mind 💜💚😇
No need to spend extra money on buying an audioguide at the Vatican - just let Jason explain it all in yet another interesting and informative vlog!
Great video. Glad you are back traveling and exploring.
thanks so much for showing us how you are experiencing traveling at this moment/ look forward for borders to open and then follow you steps
I hope I will see everything there with my eyes. Looks incredible 😍
Simply amazingly good video!!
Beyond the incredibly beautiful art is the enormous scale of the inside of St. Peter's is always awe inspiring.
Awesome vlogs beautiful view thanks 👌
What time were you there? cant believe its still empty! By the way..for future videos in Italy...the English pronounce the greatest 16th century Venetian artist, Titian='tee-shen'
...although he was a titan..as you said :) thanks.
In Italy we call him Tiziano='teetz-yano'
Thanks to you I see lots of places and especially Italy that I can't afford to visit but now through your Chanel I have seen it all.
Tjee, this must be the best video about the Vatican sinds ever ...... thank you Jason.
im so impressed how you filmed ! amazing! I loved how you vlog. good job!!!
St. Peter's Square belongs to the Vatican state, but up to the stairs in front of the Basilica it is controlled more by the Italian state police ...
You have a wonderful eye for videos and photos and your technique in handling the camera and cellphone is very smooth and not jerky/unstable at all. Wonderful views of inside St Peter's basilica but I'm wondering why you didn't get any shots of Michaelangelo's famous Pieta which is near the entrance to the basilica to the right of the doors. Besides the basilica and the museum tours, there is one very special tour you can take underneath the basilica called the Scavi (underground) tour. We did this tour in May 2019 and you go underneath the basilica and see what once were open to air and sky streets with burial chambers of many prominent people who wanted to buried as close as possible to what is believed to be the tomb of Peter. You end up next to what is believed to be Peter's burial chamber which is about 30 feet directly underneath the huge altar in the basilica. If you have time to take this while in Rome, you will be amazed on the tour. Thanks for your wonderful videos; keep them coming.
Wow I have no words it is awesome to see the vatican. Thank you
Great music and coverage.
You're a really excellent presenter. Very engaging and focusing on really interesting points.
Quite Impressive!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. I thought it was very informative, every time you see the Vatican and the Vatican museums it’s as if you’re seeing them for the first time. Everyone should experience the eternal city.
Just excellent, thanks, it was packed a decade ago when ‘was there.
Me 2 years back
Probably the best time to visit such place , you will never see the entrance to the Vatican Museum so empty. In normal times, queues would literally start where the wall begins and it can take hours before you eventually access the Vatican Museum
Sry (for my "google-eng" firstly) but it's true who Mussolini built that road (destroying a medieval village) and made an agreement with the Vatican but it's not a independence question, it's much more complex; the Pope considered himself a prisoner of the italian state from 1870 (from the annexation of Rome to Italy to become the capital), this had to be solved and they signed the "Lateran Pacts" (between Mussolini/Italy and the Pope/Vatican).
It's a shortened explanation of a complicated thing, made with google help, sry again (I hope to have explain), ciao and congratulations for the video.
PS What is most fascinating and mysterious in the Vatican unfortunately it cannot be visited by tourists but just by scholars and it's the Vatican Apostolic Archive (it contains all of the transcribed documents in centuries of history).
This is a very impressive site, I hope I can visit again sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
Jason Billam, you said you spend the day in Vatican City?
hi Jason....you made a very nice video of Vatican City....I was there in 2001, hopefully when this pandemic ends , i can visit again Vatican City and Italy :)
I am loving your trips in Italy, mate. Have you been to Sicily? I can’t seem to find a video for it, if you haven’t, make sure to include it next time round! It’s a gem 👍🏻 I quote Goethe on that one: “ “To have seen Italy without having seen Sicily is not to have seen Italy at all, for Sicily is the clue to everything.” ;)
Thank you Jason, cant wait for the next locations 👌
This is a very nice video.u r looking so cool in this video.
Beautiful architecture of modern times
Wow, not so much hassle of long queue. No checking, no crowd. So peaceful!
i found it over whelming when I was there, It's always good to see a breakdown , from other views----Thank you
Thanks Francine
Excellent vedio in Vatican City VEDIO blog
Hi Jason! I'm new subscriber in your wonderful youtube channel. I'm Jonabelle. I'm devoted Catholic. You have a fantastic blog about Vatican. I wish to visit that place one day.
Happy to hear you like it, Jonabelle!
Wow amazing videos of the Vatican City Jason!!!
Youre presentation is so, so soothing and genteel. Watching your videos always relaxes me, especially in these Covid-19 days. Plus!your pronunciation of Italian names is quite good (maybe with the exception of Titian🙃). I love how you just are silent at times, not succumbing to the thought the narrator can never be quiet. It's such a reverential place. Thank you for bringing it to us!
Thanks Chris!
Thank you.
Thank you Jason. Watching from Delhi. Subscribed
