Arrived at the door, the pope goes down from the throne, on which he is borne In procession, and armed with a silver hammer strikes the wall In the doorway, which has been previously loos ened, so that it falls away at once, In ward, in a moment the debris Is cleared away by the attendants, who are present for the purpose. Bareheaded and with torch in band, the pope then passes through the door, followed by the others ln procession, and proceeding to the high altar sings the first vespers of Christmas day. At the closing of the door, a year hence, there Is a similar ceremonial. The stones used for the filling in of the door are each inscribed with appropriate scrip tural texts. Another historic occasion Is the Impos ing ceremony of "1'Ubbedlenia," which takes place once a year ln the Sala Regla in the Vatican; the pontiff, robed In cope and miter, upon his throne, the embodi ment spiritual and temporal of the religion be represents and serves so faithfully, re ceives the reverential devotion of the car dinals, as, one by one.

Evening dress and ungloved hands are insisted upon, at an audience with the pope, who receives those presented to him in the room at the Vatican known as the "Tronetto," owing to the small throne which is there. One is obliged to make three genuflections, one on crossing the threshold, the second ln the center of the room, and the third at the foet of the pontiff. It is necessary to retire back ward when the interview Is at an end.
