Before her Stick and Sweet concert in Rome, Italy, Madonna and children Lourdes Leon and Rocco Ritchie got a little history lesson in the city.
The family flew by private jet from Germany, then took a car to the Basilica di Santa Croce in Gerusalemme. There, they explored the Basilica's botanical gardens which are considered mysterious and almost magical.
Then, the family headed in. Traditionally, women would wear a head covering in the Basilica. Madonna chose not to observe the tradition, but Lourdes did! Monks then gave the group a guided tour of the religious paintings and artifacts. Then, they performed a Gregorian chant.
Good thing Madonna got the trip in before she dedicated "Like a Virgin" to the Pope at that evening's concert!
