St. Peter Damian, Bishop, Confessor, and Doctor of the Church

Peter Damian, a Benedictine monk, was nominated Cardinal-Bishop of Ostia on account of his learning and high virtues. He rendered immense services to Gregory VII in his struggle for the rights of the Church. He retired to his abbey of Fonte Avellano, and died in 1072.

We took another long walk this afternoon (we are loving the spring-like weather here right now). The road we followed took us up and outside of Gaming affording us a nice view of our little town from above.

There are also a few more pictures of the scenery in our Gaming photo album.
