	Coat of Arms of Pope Benedict XVI
		Popes often used their family shield or composed their own with symbols indicating their ideal of life or referring to past events or experiences, or even elements connected with specific Pontifical programmes.
		The shield chosen by Pope Benedict XVI is very simple: it is in the shape of a chalice, the most commonly used form in ecclesiastical heraldry.
		The Papal mitre shown in his arms, to recall the symbolism of the tiara, is silver and bears three bands of gold (the three powers: Orders, Jurisdiction and Magisterium), joined at the centre to show their unity in the same person.

	Pope Benedict XVI : Papal coat of arms
		THE Vatican unveiled yesterday Pope Benedict’s coat of arms, which incorporates a crowned Moor’s head, a bear and a scallop or conch shell — all drawn from Joseph Ratzinger’s crest as Cardinal Archbishop of Munich and Freising, the post he held from 1977 to 1981.
		In contrast to the coat of arms of John Paul II, the new Pope’s crest is topped by a simple mitre rather than the traditional three-layered papal crown, or tiara.
		"Benedict XVI has chosen a coat of arms that is rich in symbolism and meaning, so as to put his personality and his papacy in the hands of history," said Italian Archbishop Andrea Cordero Lanza di Montezemolo, an expert on heraldry and creator of Benedict XVI's new insignia.

	Pope Benedict removed the Papal Tiara or The Pope's Crown from the Vatican coat of arms (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)

		Pope Paul VI, whose bullet-shaped tiara is one of the most unusual in design, was the last pope to date to wear a triple tiara, though it remains open to any of his successors to reinstate both the coronation ceremony and the use of any one of the tiaras.

		What better time can there be than now, with the recent election of Pope Benedict XVI, to make a pilgrimage to Rome and visit the holy sites, undertaking the traditional obligation of all Christians to make a journey to one holy place at least once in their lifetime.
