| | Umbrella - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Umbrellas carried by hand are now usually used as rain shields, although their first use was for shielding from the sun; however, as sun tans became more sociably acceptable, this usage declined. |
 | | In the Scirophoria, the feast of Athene Sciras, a white parasol was borne by the priestesses of the goddess from the Acropolis to the Phalerus. |
 | | Consequently, the ombrellino or umbracullum, the papal umbrella, is found in the arms of a sede vacante (the papal arms used between the death of a pope and the election of his successor), and can be used in the arms of a basilica. |
