Continued thanks.
Viva Benedetto XVI.
Thank you thank you! Gorgeous photos! Can't get enough of 'em!
What is the pin that the Cardinal is attaching to one of the crosses on the Pope's pallium in the 7th picture?
Homily Thread -- HOMILY OF INAUGURATION MASS OF BENEDICT XVI
The 5 red crosses signify the 5 wounds of Christ: two in His hands, two in His feet, and one in His side. Pins are affixed to three of the crosses, representing that three nails affixed Christ to the Cross.
It must be a novus ordo thing - AFAIK, it used to be called the Pope's Coronation Mass.
There was no tiara though, unfortunately, so it was his "installation" Mass, not "installment."
Official protocol when meeting with the Pope says that only Catholic queens can wear white mantillas. I agree that Queen Sofia has a beautiful mantilla.
Wow these pictures are great!!!!!
Those were great pics! I was watching EWTN on the internet last night when they were replaying the interview with the Pope before the conclave. We only have one tv with cable in our place, the cable company won't install upstairs because we rent a townhouse & the apartment place won't let us. I just found out last night that EWTN sends both the TV and radio streams out on the internet. WOO HOO!!!
Thank you for the wonderful selection of pictures
Bttt.

Quite true! When my grandmother had an audience with John XXIII she was quite upset that she had to wear a black mantilla instead of the beautiful white one she had planned to wear. BTW, I have that white mantilla, my mom gave it to me to wear at my wedding. Does anybody know the best way to store it until my daughter gets married? she's only 15 and very much dedicated to her studies, so I hope it will be quite a while.
Pyro, thanks for the pictures!!!!! They are beautiful and majestic.
thanks for posting; these are great!

I would recommend acid-free tissue paper and an archival storage box.

That caught my attention as well! The shell also figures into his Bishop's shield, as well. I fully expect we'll see it again in his Papal Seal.
Thank you, Pyro, for posting these memorable photographs from the Holy Father's Installation Mass!
