Patriarch Bartholomew, acknowledging the priestly ordination of Pope Leo XIV, gave His Holiness a beautiful bejeweled priestly stole which was then placed upon the Pope.
Pope Leo gave Patriarch Bartholomew a beautiful icon of Jesus Christ. Of course, the Blessed Virgin Mary is the Mother of God. She is also Co-Redemptrix and Co-Mediatrix—wonderful titles, only appropriate for private devotion although no formal doctrines or dogmas exists in the East or the West.

The gifted stole certainly looks better than the one he arrived with.
