Last seen in 1978 with Papa Luciani, here it is again after twenty-eight years. Pope John Paul opted not to use a throne and so it sat in storage and then in the Lateran Palace museum until last December of 2006 when it was brought back into papal use. (Photo courtesy of L'Osservatore Romano).

The return of the papal throne...
This pic will make a good screensaver for you. Last seen in 1978 with Papa Luciani, here it is again after twenty-eight years. Pope John Paul opted not to use a throne and so it sat in storage and then in the Lateran Palace museum until last December of 2006 when it was brought back into papal use.
