New Years Eve: splendor from the Vatican...


Patriarca dell’Occidente…

Of course we all prefer a nice Renaissance mitre, but this neo-Gothic look is still nice (may the omen augur no evil)! Tanti auguri di buon anno!

“For many years! (Ad multos annos!) For many years, O Lord! (Is polla eti, Despota).”

Liturgical Acclamations. (First, chanted at consecration of bishop, Roman Pontifical, ca. 8th-10th cent.; second, regularly chanted by choir in Pontifical Mass according to Byzantine Rite, before 8th cent.)

Actually I think that the color that the cardinals wear is not red, but scarlet.
