 History of the Mass (18histot.htm)
  The death of Pope Honorius II, the choice of the Frangipani family, opened the door for the rival patrician family Pierleoni to foist their own flesh and blood on the papacy in the person of Cardinal Pietro Pierleoni, who though a man of the cloth, exhibited none of the virtues.
In March 1131 Innocent II and Henry V's successor to the German crown Lothair (Lothario of Saxony) reached an agreement that the latter would fight for the Pope.
It was a shame his thirteen year papacy ended the way it did for he did much in furthering the ideals of Holy Mother Church and putting into action the needed reforms of Gregory VII via the tenth ecumenical council.

 HERALD4.TXT
Clearly these Frangipani arms were canting arms, a pun on their name which means "bread-breakers." In time the cracks in the loaf came to be blazoned more piously as a cross and so this late medieval coat was anachronistically attributed to the sixth-century pope from whose family the Frangipani claimed descent.
The arms of this great patron of church music were a silver engrailed cross charged with a red lion between four blue lion's faces on a black field with a red Lancastrian rose in chief between two Cornish choughs or blackbirds.
At the same time Solesmes' abbots were privileged to ensign their arms, not with the black ecclesiastical hat used by other abbots, but with the green hat with six green tassels pendent on either side of the shield.

 Essence: U.S. Virgin Islands - Folklife Festival
I am proud of the warmth and generosity with which my family and all African-American families before us and after have treated our loved ones, regardless of how much we had to share.
Under the warm early November sun, folks from St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John have gathered for the first U.S. Virgin Islands Folklife Festival to tell stories; demonstrate broom and furniture making, house building and steel-drum tuning; to make and sell paintings, needlework, carvings, and perfumes distilled from jasmine, mango and frangipani.
In the machine-made world I live in, it is almost unthinkable that such craftspeople still exist, playing their exquisite trades.
