“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

LOL! Liturgical eye candy? You said it. :-D
This isn’t candy — it’s meat.
can somebody tell me what that is…I can’t make it out.
What you see, that red and yellow striped half open umbrella, is the symbol of a Minor Basilica as is the bell on the staff being carried before it. These symbols are carried in processions.
Now if they will just bring back May crownings…
Meat?! LOL! I will not make a witty remark as a reply publicly. I will restrain my pen.
More about the umbrella and bell:
The title Basilica carries with it both privileges and obligations. Among the primary privileges are the right to display, both inside and outside, the coat of arms of the Pope who designated the church as a basilica, and the display of the church’s own coat of arms, bearing the marks of the Pope.
Two additional symbols rooted in the papal court are used by basilicas: the “tintinnabulum” and “ombrellino.” The “tintinnabulum” is a bell which had the practical function of alerting people to the approach of the Holy Father during processions through the streets of Rome. The “ombrellino” is an elaborate umbrella which would protect the Holy Father from inclement weather. The panels of the ombrellino are made of alternating red and yellow fabric (the colors of the Pope). It is always displayed half-way open to signify that the church is ready to welcome the Holy Father.
