The a

There is always a large crowd at
St. Petr's on I'aiim Sunday and as
early as eight o'clock the peoiple begin
to asseible. The Cereimonl itself
lasts about three hours and in order
to see it mliany visitors stand for five
or six hours. Iadies alone are fa
vored with seats, and only then if they
are in dark dresses anid with 1)1h1
veils over their Jeails, instead of liat s
and hoiiets. One of the papal fegi
ments is ilways (in duty witlhin the
sacred preeiliets to le replaced by the
"'noble guard" o? the pofpe when the
latter enters the church. During the
service the chlief sacristan brings forth
nl armful of so-calle(d palms and
places them on the high altar. These
are stalks about three fee: long ie

with wVisps of yellow straw. In reality
they are sticks to which artificial palm
leaves had been glued.

his blesstag to the assemhiled multi

throne at the further end of the
church.
Blessing the Palms.
After some music the pope proceeds
to bless the palms which are brought
to hima from the altar. The blessing
is effected by reading certain praiyers
and the incensing of the palms three
times. An enmbroideredh apron is niow
platced uipon the ptope's knee and the
cardinatls adlvancie to~ lis holiness, re

receive thme palms, kiss the pope'Qs foot

the Miser'ere in the Sistine chapel.
The service whieh is also cailledl TVene

Is held begins at hanlf-piast four. Thie
whole ofico is a finely finished musical
composition wvhich is performed by the
organ and( suing b~y voic'es of what
is probably the finest choir in the
world1. During the singing oif the serv

tinguished one by one, with the excep
tion of the toptmost candlec which is
concealed behind the Ihigh altar, t
symbol of (deaths of all the prophets
before the coiming of the Savior and
of the resurrection of the Christ.
The Sacred Olis.
On Thursday, the ceremony of bless

during mass. There are three varIeties
of oils to be blessed and the ritual

After this there is the ceremonial
