Prego! (I didn’t know what you meant so had to look it up) Nice, learned a new Italian phrase.

Cindy, May this Christmas find you and all your loved ones in good health, good spirits and prosperity in the coming year.
I have only seen Strasburg and Barcelona’s cathedrals. I have been to Austria, Hungary, and Greece but missed their cathedrals.
Thanks for posting them. The one in Italy appears to have Arabic overtones (like some of the mosques in Spain) that have been converted back to Christian churches.
Please take care of yourself. I would hate to miss your posts.
With deepest respect and admiration,
Wally
So observant of you Wally. The Church of St. John the Babtist is very old and was built in the 13th and 14th Centuries. I definitely see The Moorish influence as you do, and as I have seen especially clearly in churches in Portugal and Spain. Thank you sincerely Wally for your kind thoughts and wishes. It is so lovely to hear from you. I wish you Health, Happiness and A Blessed Holiday Season my friend. Stay safe & well დდ
Great moment this morning with your church visits post and amazing tour in a thoughtful post. Merry Christmas and have a wonderful blessed time with smile. seasons greetings, happy holidays.
All The Joys of The Season to you my friend and thank you sincerely for such kind and thoughtful words. დ

Isn’t it incredible that most of the whole world celebrates Christmas whether they be Christian or not? I love that. Merry Christmas, Cindy and the rest of the world.

Merry Christmas to you, Cindy! Which church in Prague did that picture come from? We’ve probably seen them all! These churches are overwhelming in their opulence.
