Sistine Chapel Chimney

Mamma Mia Dept: Before, the pilgrims were orderly and polite, subdued by suspense and unyielding rain. After, complete mayhem as it became clear that white smoke was billowing from the Sistine Chapel chimney, according to Calgary Herald. Complete strangers hugged, overwhelmed by emotion. A young woman sobbed uncontrollably, barely able to stand. "Mamma Mia, we have a pope!" cried Italian nun Sister Eugenia. "We have a holy father!" VATICAN CITY - In one electrifying moment, the rain-soaked crowd on St. Peter's Square lit up with a frenzy of passion. Nuns threw their hands in the air, tears rolling down their cheeks, and chants of "Long Live the Pope" thundered across the cobblestoned piazza. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
