Ceremonial Papal Procession Described With Pageantry
The 186 Historic Register details the Papal procession from St Peter’s to Campo Vaccino and on to the Coliseum. It notes the Apostolical Subdeacon, Pope in a velvet litter guarded by Swiss guards, and Cardinals followed by Patriarchs Archbishops and bishops. The procession includes triumphal arches at multiple stops and speeches by civic leaders, with Jews presenting Hebrew Moses books at the Coliseum.
