  • Coca Dai and Juan Juan sign a document during their wedding ceremony at the Xujiahui Catholic Church in Shanghai, China on 23 May 2009. A hip street artist and a recent Catholic convert, Mr. Dai is one of many young Chinese embracing religion, perhaps to fill the lack of belief and ideology in an authoritarian communist China that embraces the most extreme form of capitalism in practice. The Chinese government and the Vatican have a long history of simmering mutual distrust and suspicion, as two parties compete for the control of the Chinese Catholic church, with some 15 million and growing number of faithfuls.  Overall Christians now number over 110 million in China, which makes it the third largest Christian nation in the world.

  • Two Catholic nuns from the Asia region have walked from St Peter's Square in Vatican City, though Piazza Pio XII and are continuing down the wide street called Via della Conciliazione. Dressed in fine religious gowns complete with beautiful sashes around the waste they walk in step past a shop called Galleria Savelli that sells religious trinkets and other tourist ephemera. Sat basking in the sun is a dalmatian dog with its coat of dark spots and white skin as clean as the nuns' long dresses. Near the centre of the picture are the postcards of the Cisteen chapel and of Pope John Paul II who is seen waving at various Papal events. Also spotless is the Roman pavement which has been swept and cleaned very recently. In the distance is the magnificant Basilica di San Pietro from where the Pope addresses the weekly crowds.

  • Interior with candles and portrait of Pope John Paul II in the Cathedral of San Rufino in Assisi, Umbria, Italy. Pope John Paul II served as Pope and sovereign of the Vatican City State from 1978 to 2005. He is called Saint John Paul the Great by some Catholics. In this church Saint Francis of Assisi, Saint Clare, and many of their original disciples were baptised. Assisi is a town in the Province of Perugia in the Umbria region, on the western flank of Monte Subasio. It is generally regarded as the birthplace of the Latin poet Propertius, and is the birthplace of St. Francis, who founded the Franciscan religious order in the town in 1208, and St. Clare, Chiara dOffreducci, the founder of the Poor Sisters, which later became the Order of Poor Clares after her death. Assisi is now a major tourist destination for those sightseeing or for more religious reasons.

  • In the bustle of a modern metropolis, two red Routemaster buses pass each other in Threadneedle Street. The Pillars of the Bank of England can just be seen left as pedestrians either stride past on the pavement, wait for another service or board the number 8 that is bound for Old Ford & Bow Church in the east end. Meanwhile, in the cab of his bus, the driver's hands and chest of the 11 destined for Fulham Broadway in the west can be seen in the sun, as he continues his journey in the opposite direction. Advertising is present on each mode of transport too: A travel ad for Rome (with a picture of St. Peter's in the Vatican) and for two west end musicals - Cyrano de Bergerac and Lost in Yonkers. Routemasters are largely being phased out, replaced by more modern, cleaner-engined models that hold more passengers.
