THE CLOSING OF THE HOLY DOOR AT THE BASILICA OF SAINT JOHN LATERAN…

 Very nicely celebrated. The Cardinal wears cope for the closing of the door and then changes to a beautiful chasuble for the Mass.

I like the hanging crucifix over the altar and enables a clear view of the celebrant at the altar along with the vessels in which the Body and Blood of Jesus will be consecrated.

It allows for the central crucifix and not shunting to the side as it is sometimes now done at St. Peter’s.

I think this would be a great solution for the papal altar at St. Peter’s, no?
