| Bolt from the blue ... lightning strikes St Peter's Basilica last night |
Just hours after the Pope Benedict XVI, - Joseph Ratzinger- resigned, The Vatican's holiest church was hit with the high-powered bolt!
Rome was lit up as a...
powerful electric storm passed through the city and
cameras caught the moment a ferocious bolt zig-zagged through the night sky
before striking the roof of the famous basilica.
Pope Benedict XVI stunned the world yesterday by standing down after eight
years as head of the Catholic Church at the age of 85.
His successor will be elected next month by 120 Catholic cardinals.
