Sister Dometilla irons pieces of fabric for a ceremony in Saint-Peter Basilica at the Vatican on November 17, 2015. Hundreds of meters of fabric 'require hours of work and patience. We are here to do it', serenely commented Sister Dometilla. As the clock struck 12, the nun stopped working long enough to make her way to the stoop where she recited the prayer of the Angelus.
