St. Peter’s Square was eerily empty on Christmas Day Friday as Italians are under a nationwide lockdown for much of the Christmas and New Year holiday period.
St. Peter’s Square is a large plaza located directly in front of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican City, the papal enclave inside Rome, directly west of the neighborhood or rione of Borgo. Both the square and the basilica are named after Saint Peter, an apostle of Jesus considered by Catholics to be the first Pope.

After spending nearly half of 2020 in lockdown due to the pandemic, I thought it would be great to create a short timelapse film and capture the amazing Christmas Festival in Melbourne! I hope you guys enjoy my latest Timelapse Film and it reminds you that there are better times ahead. For those who have had a tough time during the lockdowns, I hope this video puts a smile on your face. The spirit of Christmas is alive in Melbourne!
Putting the entire video together took me one month and consisted of over 6000 raw pictures, taking up around 380GB on my hard drives. The shots were taken around the streets of Melbourne, Australia, including Swanston Street, Bourke Street and Flinders Street.
Filmed on December 20th, 2020.
