Tiber???

Hi all,

Just a question that maybe everyone understands but me. I realize that “Cross the Tiber” and “Tiber Swim Team” have to do with becoming Catholic, but what is the significance?? Why the Tiber? Historical? Just wondering, but am hoping I’m not asking a stupid question…

I believe that the Tiber divides Rome from Vatican City at least on one side.
