“The Patron Saint of the Internet”
People have been pouring into the Italian town of Assisi to venerate two of the church`s most celebrated saints, Francis and Clare, and its newest, Carlo Acutis. He’s the first millennial saint, who will be canonized on April 27. Acutis died in 2006 from leukemia at the age of 15. His body lies in the shrine, and he is wearing sneakers and a sweatshirt.
Venus Flytrap Wasp
Now that the warmer temperatures are here, how crazy are the wasps outside? Well, if this wasp came around nowadays, people would run!
