Vatican's nativity scene

The above photo shows the Vatican's nativity scene that was unveiled on the 15th of  December in St. Peter Square.

The nativity scene is surrounded by Vatican police officers, who are responsible for public order and crime prevention. If someone wanted to visit Vatican square and St. Peter Basilica, he/she would  have to pass through Vatican police security checkpoints.

The Christmas tree set up in Vatican square comes from Norther Italy. It is 25 meters tall and weighing 8,000 Kilograms.

Happy Christmas 🎄🎀🎁

Russian frozen assets

I'd like to share Hungarian President's point of view about Russia's frozen assets. Mr. Orban has just said that "there are two countries which are at war. It's not the EU, it's Russia and Ukraine, and somebody, the EU , would like to take away the money of one of the warring parties, and to give it to the other one. It's a marching into the war, so the Belgian Prime Minister is right. We should not do that."  

The above photo shows the Hungarian Parliament building on the eastern bank of the Danube river. I took the picture of that neo-gothic landmark in April this year.

Rome's Christmas decoration

 

Rome's Christmas 20-metre tree was unveiled on the 2nd of December this year. I saw it yesterday. Many locals and tourists were walking and shopping close to the Spanish steps, named after the Spanish Embassy located there. That place is famous for the monumental staircase and its elegant baroque architecture.

People were also enjoying Christmas decoretion.

                 

There were a lot of Christmas decoretions hanging on the front doors of older Rome's residential buildings.

I noticed that some holiday decorations had nothing to do with Christmas, such as the Wolksvagen Bettle, produced by the German company Wolksvagen from 1938 to 2003, 

... and the polar bear. 

The International Union for Conservation of Nature reports that the global population of polar bears is 22,000 to 31,000.

Have a nice weekend 🌲
