Fashion

Hey fellow adventurers! This post is another fashion post!!! Now, I’m not talking about current trendy Italian fashion. I just want to focus on what people who live in Vatican City wear. Though let’s be honest, if the Pope wanted to, he could pull off some swaggy fashion.

 

Jokes aside, we know what popes and cardinals wear, but now it’s time to find out exactly what that is. Ordinarily the Pope wears:

  • A cassock: an ankle length tunic

  • A mozetta: a short shoulder cape

  • A fascia: a sash worn above the waist

  • A pectoral cross (on a gold chain): a cross worn on the chest

  • Papal shoes: red leather shoes

  • A zucchetto: a small cap worn on the head

  • And a gold fisherman’s ring: a ring worn in honor of St. Peter, which gets destroyed after each pope’s death

When the Pope attends a special event or ceremony, he’ll wear choir dress.

For ceremonies that they host, such as celebrating mass, popes dress up a bit.

It looks like cardinals wear an outfit very similar to the Pope.

Same for when they’re in choir dress.

What about visitors? Should they wear something specific? Well according to multiple Vatican City guides, visitors need to cover their shoulders and knees. You won’t be allowed into some places if you don’t follow this rule. And apparently there are even cloaks for sale in case you didn’t want to wear a long sleeve all day, or just forgot. Though if you search Vatican City fashion on Google image, all these images will pop up of girls in sleeveless, mostly short dresses. I don’t know why but this made me laugh for several minutes. I’m not a Catholic but when visiting the Pope, I agree it’s best to dress more conservatively over wearing a short dress (I’m talking to both girls and guys).

Don’t get me wrong. Michael Spookshow is definitely pulling this off! Actually… I wonder if that dress is still for sale. Besides the point! Still, probably not the best thing to wear to Vatican City.

Not related to this post but when I was looking for information on what popes’ wear, I came across this interesting list of things you might not have known about the pope! I found it very interesting, so I decided to share it: http://www.toptenz.net/10-things-may-wondered-pope.php

Well that’s all for today’s post! Thank you so much for reading! And as always, until our next adventure!

    My site looks weird when viewing from my iphone4.
    I’m trying to find a template or plugin that

  7. Hi! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established
    blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal
    but I can figure things out pretty quick.
    I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to start.

  8. Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the internet
    the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly
    get annoyed while people think about worries that they
    plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail
    upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal.
    Will probably be back to get more. Thanks

  10. Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up and
    let you know a few of the images aren’t loading correctly.
    I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same outcome.

    you feel.

  13. I’m impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and interesting, and without
    a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is
    an issue that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.
    I’m very happy I came across this in my hunt for something
    relating to this.

  14. I’ve been browsing online more than 3 hours lately, but I by no means discovered any interesting article like yours.
    It’s lovely price enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and
    bloggers made excellent content as you did, the internet will likely be much more
    useful than ever before.

  15. Aw, this was an exceptionally nice post. Taking the
    time and actual effort to produce a really good article… but what can I say… I put things off a lot and don’t manage to get
    nearly anything done.

  16. I know this website provides quality dependent articles or
    reviews and extra stuff, is there any other web site which gives these kinds of things in quality?

    make certain to bookmark your blog and will often come
    back from now on. I want to encourage yourself to continue your great

  20. Hey outstanding website! Does running a blog similar to this take a
    large amount of work? I have absolutely no expertise in programming
    however I had been hoping to start my own blog in the near future.
    Anyway, should you have any ideas or techniques for new blog owners please share.
    I understand this is off subject however I simply had to ask.
    Appreciate it!

    web page yet again.

  22. With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems
    of plagorism or copyright infringement? My blog has a lot of unique content I’ve either
    written myself or outsourced but it appears a
    lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any methods to help reduce
    content from being ripped off? I’d really
    appreciate it.

    updates and will talk about this website with my Facebook group.

  24. Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive
    a twenty five foot drop, just so she can be a youtube
    sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
