"Rosary beads" are not unheard of, but for only your group to see them, that's rare indeed. And even if it was a combination of upper-atmosphere effects, the exact positions where you all were standing, and dehydration of all of you and only you, it's still GOD who made it all work out that way. And all on hte day the Pope spoke. Give credit where credit is due. Praise God. By the way, when I was on a Colorado mountain planting trees on a youth trip, we were privilaged to see a partial-double circular rainbow around the sun. Rare but not unheard of at higher elevations. -"d", David |
