2:14
take a
2:15
look at this
2:18
thing
2:20
wow name of it is you know I call a
2:22

to that would be Basilica right there
2:27
and they have the little indentation the
2:29
little carvings of what it looks like on
2:31
the trash can
2:33
itself show how steep the side of
2:36
the look at that car going up the side
2:38
the incline there kind of see well tough

2:44
at a very steep
2:50
angle all right $4 to go inside the

22:31
dollars to get in few dollars not too
22:33
much stuff here admission fees into
22:34
things are really not that
22:42
expensive tell us a story for example in
22:42
this one you can see the St Frances of
22:44
AI is in front of St Daman cross well
22:50
the language here is Latin but the
22:52
translator will
22:55
be restore my church
22:58
as you can see St Francis was don't
23:02
forget the Stigmata Stigmata is the same
23:06
that s Francisco will have that gave to
23:10
Jesus at the moment of the crucifixion
23:12
and you will see a lot a lot IM he
23:16
considered well the most important
23:18
person father of the animals here and
23:21
realistic because they think that it was
23:25
an honor I'm looking at this it kind of
23:27
reminds me of wrers St the Covenant Jo
23:30
that it's important to talk with the
23:33
threads of
23:35
go but also they use go in not only in
23:39
sculptures but also in paintings here
23:43
you can
23:44
see Moon snake and the gold Lea but also
23:49
used on the paintings lot of technique
23:52
but well before that according to
23:55
religion Mary didn't die she fall asleep
23:59
and she went up to the heaven and Body
24:03
and Soul so that part of the story
24:42
else this is the chapel portion of the
24:42
museum or next to the
24:44
museum eaia San Francisco what's it
24:47
called eaia San Francisco eaia San
