Talk:Coronation of Pope Paul VI

Details
An interested editor might fill in details. Mass, I believe, precedes the coronation. The size of the crowd. The cardinals pay homage individually. How many heads of state? (answer: 6) Departure in the sedia. The "sic transit gloria mundi".

The descriptions of the tiara are confusing. See List of papal tiaras in existence, which says the tiara used for this coronation was new. And it's that new one seen in the photo. A different tiara appears briefly, I think, near the start of the newsreel, perhaps displayed but not used for the coronation. Rutsq (talk) 04:53, 3 January 2023 (UTC)


 * This blog, not an acceptable source, says the older tiara was placed on the altar but not used: https://www.liturgicalartsjournal.com/2022/02/the-last-tiara-used-in-papal-coronation.html Rutsq (talk) 04:56, 3 January 2023 (UTC)


 * I've since made edits, esp with respect to the tiara. Rutsq (talk) 03:39, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
