The
Vatican's holiest church was hit with the high-powered bolt just hours after
the Pope resigned.
Rome was
lit up as a powerful electric storm passed through the city and cameras caught
the moment a ferocious bolt zig-zagged through the night sky before striking
the roof of the famous basilica.
The
500-year-old church is one of the most important holy buildings in the Vatican
and hosts many Papal ceremonies.

Pope
Benedict XVI stunned the world yesterday by standing down after eight years as
head of the Catholic Church at the age of 85.
Benedict -
real name Joseph Ratzinger - claimed he was too frail to carry on in the role.
His
successor will be elected next month by 120 Catholic cardinals.-SUN
