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.
Justin Gainey is officially a regular at Amedeo’s.
He told us he’s always loved this place and remembers it from his #NCState days in the ‘90s. And now he and his staff are already making it part of their routine.
Feels like the start of something special in #Raleigh. #GoPack

What’s your all-time favorite college basketball team? I’ve got 1983 NC State. If you remember the ultimate Cinderella run those kids went on, you damn sure know why. Jimmy V forever.

As a #RomanEngineering enthusiast. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that Julius would have been wise to beware the Ides of March 2,070 years ago. This video zooms in on the spot where it all ended for the dictator-for-life (The Curia of Pompey).
One thing y’all didn’t get to see last night: Quadir Copeland did his postgame interview with the usher who kept watch over the locker room.
He specifically asked her to stand with him.
And for the grand finale… Merry Christmas from NC State women’s basketball 🎄����
