Palm Sunday Pontifical rites and royal court news in Rome
In Rome on Palm Sunday a Pontifical Chapel in the Pauline Chapel at the Quirinal Palace saw 20 Cardinals as Guadagni blessed palms for the Sacred College. Ash Wednesday and Holy Week featured Cardinal Barberini, ceremonies, feasts, alms, and the distribution of rites. The season brought appointments, marriages, and monastery plans, with news from Parma and Paris on troops, diplomacy, and religious disputes amid a broader European political backdrop.
