聖彼得大教堂
是梵帝崗的天主教教宗聖殿。
世界上最大的教堂。
西元1506年至1626年的
文藝復興建築。
米開朗基羅與拉斐爾等
傑出的藝術家建築師參與設計。
進入教堂內的西斯丁禮拜堂，
震撼人心的大壁畫作者米開朗基羅
是當代最偉大的彫塑、建築、
哲學家。
生逢文藝復興時期
（人類由中世紀的黑暗中解放，
覺醒的一段歷程）
其彫塑作品力與美的統合的代表作品
- 「David - 大衞」，聖經中的大衛王，
他為物質（石頭）除卻雜質，
注入精神內涵與活力。
此亦是文藝復興的內涵 -
古典藝術的復興與重生。
他永垂不朽的「聖悼」
彫塑完美的聖母與耶穌，
傷痕很細小
是他對聖體致敬，
不願毀壞褻瀆聖體。
他晚年為了尋求救贖與信仰，
創作許多不同的聖母憐子彫塑，
努力不懈專注彫塑耶穌聖體。
可見信仰對米開朗基羅的意義。
他的虔誠全然體現於作品中。
來到聖彼得大教堂的廣埸，
依次走到登高的入口。
不知踏上多少階梯（據說551個）
終於到達頂端。
遠離地面的喧囂。
望著遠方飄浮的雲，
感嘆虛空之無盡，
我們渺小如沙麈。
St. Peter's Basilica Church
is temple of Catholic Pope.
The biggest church in the world .
Renaissance architecture built
from the years of 1506 until 1626
by Michelangelo, Raffaella and
several distinguished architects.
Enter the Sistine Chapel,
shocking large murals were Michelangelo’s
painting creation.
He was greatest contemporary sculptures,
architect and philosopher.
Born in the Renaissance
( Humanity liberated from the
“Dark Middle Ages”, attained a great awakening. )
The combination of dynamic and beauty - “ David “ ,
which represent the king David in the Bible,
his artworks especially for the material (stone)
to remove impurities and inject spiritual and vitality,
the connotation of the Renaissance -
rejuvenation and rebirth of classical art.
His immortal " Pieta “
sculpture perfect of Blessed Virgin Mary and Jesus,
the scar was very small that’s
he paid tribute to the Eucharist,
and would not allowed the Eucharist
to be desecrated and blasphemed.
He began on many different Pieta
in his late years,
grappling with salvation and faith.
He spent last years of his life dedicated to
the body of Christ.
We can further understand what that faith meant to Michelangelo.
And his piety was reflected in his sculptures.
Came over the square of St. Peter's Basilica Church,
go to the entrance of the ascending
one by one.
I did not know how many steps
( it was said that 551 steps )
Finally reached the top.
Stay away from the noise
of the ground.
Looking at the floating clouds
in the distance,
lamenting the endlessness
of the void,
we are as small as sand.
