A few photos from the concert of the Regensburger Domspatzen in the Sistine Chapel on Saturday in reply #19.

In his remarks afterward, the Pope told the boys of this famous choir that they were blessed to be able to sing the praises of God in the awesome scenery of the Sistine Chapel. Ain't that the truth? ;-)
