The Pope Lion XIV received this Sunday (18) the Fisherman and the Papal during the mass celebrating the beginning of his pontificate.
After receiving the ring, Robert Prevost was thrilled, as observed by the thousands of faithful and heads of state that are present in St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican.
The fisherman’s ring is among the most recognizable items of papal insignia. Named in honor of St. Peter, who was a fisherman and, according to the Catholic tradition, the first Pope, the accessory is destroyed shortly after the pontiff’s death.
A “recycled” ring
The fisherman’s rings have deferred over the centuries. Although most of them presented an image of St. Peter and the keys of the Holy See – evoking the moment he received the keys from the sky – little beyond that defines his design.
As such, they often reflected the fashions of the time or the Pope’s ethos in question.
Woolly
THE Canopy It is an ancient episcopal insignia made with lamb wool, illustrated by various testimonies of the church priests.
In its current form, it is a narrow strip of white wool that rests on the shoulders, over the Casula, with two black ends pending in front and back, so that the clothing reminds the letter “Y”.
It is decorated with six black silk crosses: one at each end that goes down over the chest and back, and four in the shoulder -resting ring.
It is also adorned on the front and rear part, with three pins (Acid), representing the three blackheads of the cross of Christ.
