Above you can see the altar of St. Pius X Church in the Diocese of Spezia in Liguria, North Italy. In the photo at left you can observe a seven-branched candelabra, the traditional Jewish symbol; in the center, over the altar there is a magenta-yellow cloth with the star of David, another symbol of Judaism; at right, Our Lord, who was crucified at the instigation of the Jewish priests and scribes.

Did you hear that Benedict XVI is planning a visit to the synagogue of Rome? It will be the third synagogue he visits during his short pontificate.

Below, an outside view of St. Pius X Church.
