| Pope Leo XIII. |
On 20th February, 1878, Vincenzo Pecci, Cardinal Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church, was elected Pope by the College of Cardinals and took the name Leo XIII.
Unfortunately, only very few images of Pope Leo exist robed in sacred vestments, so the images in these posts will be more general.
