| St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, one of Brother Joseph's most famous miniatures, was constructed in 1954. Brother Joe began it by using an old bird cage to form the huge dome. Standing over the tomb of the Apostle Peter, the first Pope, the Basilica is the largest church in the world, covering four acres and holding 70,000 people.* |
