| A red and gold Philadelphia umbraculum |
… if they hope to get into the grand Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and
Paul, where Pope Francis will celebrate Mass on Sept. 26. "Two thousand
five hundred people, squeezed," Bob Duncan, a volunteer guide in the
church said when asked how many people could fit into the basilica…Duncan
pointed out in the basilica the red-and-gold umbraculum, or umbrella,
which will open to herald the pope's arrival. The last time it opened was in
1979 to greet Pope John Paul II. link
