Sant’Ignazio

This is a small church among some 900 other churches in Rome, and is dedicated to Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus, located in Rome. Built in Baroque style between 1626 and 1650, the church functioned originally as the chapel of the adjacent Roman College, which moved in 1584 to a new larger building and was renamed the Pontifical Gregorian University.  This is not an amazing church, not even great, and it does not even rank in the top 10 churches in Rome but….it is popular thanks to Insta.  There is a line up from the front door to half way down the church where a huge mirror is placed at a 45 degree angle allowing you to take that perfect selfie with the beautifully painted ceiling – ah the catholic piety.  Here it is

Also a quick shout out to Costco to up their nativity game, this one was is ginormous.
