Eternal Rome: sediari pontifici...



This is the burial chapel in Rome's Campo Verano of the old sediari of the Popes, the men who carried the famed sedia gestatoria. Some are buried here, members of the Venerable Archconfraternity of Sant' Anna de' Parafrenieri.

I made the trip to their tombs today to ask for their intercession for the return of the "triumphal chair." The Lord of History answers every prayer and we'll see what happens as the story didn't end in 1978.
