101-year-old World War II veteran Don Graves โ the last surviving flamethrower operator from his battalion, which fought on Iwo Jima โ sings โGod Bless Americaโ at the National Memorial Day Parade.
The annual Pentecost tradition (today!) at Rome's Pantheon is a moment of extraordinary beauty.
It occurs every year on the seventh Sunday after Easter. At noon, after the Holy Mass, thousands of rose petals are dropped through the oculus of the mighty dome.
As the petals fall, a choir sings "Veni Sancte Spiritus," known as the Golden Sequence, a masterpiece of sacred Latin poetry.
This is to celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Virgin Mary and the Apostles.
The rose petal ritual likely dates back to 607 AD when the pagan temple became a Christian church.

There is always another option.
SCOOP via @CBSNews: U.S. is taking steps to indict Raรบl Castro, the 94-year-old former president of Cuba and brother of Fidel, in connection with the downing of planes 30 years ago, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter. The potential indictment โ which would need to be approved by a grand jury โ is expected to focus on Cuba's deadly 1996 shootdown of planes operated by humanitarian group Brothers to the Rescue.ย @SarahNLynch and me
