If I had only one morning in this city, I would chose to visit the monk's cells with frescoes by Fra Angelico (and the room with his magnificent alters he painted) at the Convent of San Marco. Without a doubt this continues to be my favorite place to visit in Florence.. Here are the photos I took this time. I couldn't resist. snapping away even though I have an archive full of pictures from past visits.
This time, however, I didn't snap even one of the many crucifixes that adorn many of the cells. It is Lent, and the crucifixion will be coming; but it hasn't happened yet. For now I am focused on the human Jesus, the Jesus who lived among the people, who taught by words and examples.
