Leo XIV will officially ascend to the Apostolic See.
Today, the Pope will be presented with the symbols of authority – a woollen pallium, a shoulder sash, and a ‘fisherman’s ring’ of gilded silver with an image of St Peter, the first bishop of Rome, holding the keys.
The United States is represented at the enthronement by Vice President Vance, Russia by Culture Minister Olga Lyubimova, and Ukraine by Zelenskyy, Yermak and Sibiga.
