The Vatican has provided a complete list of the metropolitan archbishops who will receive the pallium from Pope Benedict XVI at a ceremony in the Vatican basilica on June 29, the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul.The pallium is a liturgical vestment symbolizing the authority of a metropolitan archbishop. A white woolen strip decorated by six black crosses, it is worn across the shoulders, outside the chasuable. It is worn only my archbishops, and only on formal liturgical occasions.
The vestment is made from wool that is shorn from lambs that are blessed by the Pope, in another ancient Roman tradition, on the feast of St. Agnes, January 21.
These vestments are stored in the Vatican basilica until the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, when the new metropolitan archbishops travel to Rome to receive them, in a ceremony that accents the communion between these prelates and the Holy See.
This year 46 newly appointed archbishops will receive the pallium during the Friday ceremony at the Vatican. Another 5 new metropolitan, who are unable to come to Rome, will receive the pallium in their own archdioceses.
