Pope Benedict XVI in papal vestments: The mitre, pallium, fanon, and the chasuble. The Pope wears the pallium over his chasuble when celebrating Mass. The pallium is a circular band of fabric about two inches wide, from which two twelve-inch-long pendants hang down, one in the front and one in back.
The vestment was approximately 55 cm. in length and was attached on the cincture, on the right side. It is decorated with gold embroidery on one end with a small Agnus Dei and on the other with a cross. The Falda is a particular papal vestment which forms a long skirt extending beneath the hem of the alb. The skirts of the falda were so long ...
Pope Innocent III (Fresco at the cloister Sacro Speco, c. 1219) The fanon was mentioned in the oldest known Roman Ordinal, consequently its use in the eighth century can be proved.

The arms of ecclesiastical institutions have somewhat different customs, using the mitre and crozier more often than is found in personal ...

In Pope Benedict's arms, the tiara is replaced with a silver mitre with three gold stripes. [4] These stripes recall the three crowns of the tiara, which came to represent the three powers of the Bishop of Rome: Orders, Jurisdiction and Magisterium. The stripes preserve that meaning and are joined at the centre to show their unity in the same ...
