The Lateran Basilica

The Saint Bede Studio
 

On Sunday evening, 25th May, Pope Leo took possession of the Cathedral-church of Rome, the Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran.

It may be noted that for this occasion the Pope wore a chasuble which had been specially crafted for Pope Saint John Paul the Second, and which was also worn by Pope Benedict on a number of occasions.

This beautiful chasuble is enriched with embroideries.
