Amongst the items of interest here are the use of the flabella (which many will recognize from papal ceremonial of old, as well as the Dominican rite -- to namely only two such instances), and some of you may notice the rather "tiara" or "triregnum" like look given to the mitre worn by the patriarch. For a bit more on some of what surrounds this, interested readers may like to travel all the way back to a post published on here in 2006 by Matt Alderman, Curiosities of the Tiara.![]()
