Church Festivals. Since the annexation of Rome to the
kingdom of Italy on 20th Sept., 1870, the public ceremonies at
which the Pope formerly officiated in person (such as those of the
Holy Week), the benedictions, and the public processions including
that of the Corpus Christi, have been discontinued. The Pope still
officiates on high festivals in the Sistine Chapel (p. 375), but visitors
are not admitted without an introduction from very high quarters.
(Gentlemen are required to wear uniform or evening dress; ladies
must be dressed in black, with black veils or caps.) Tickets (3-5 fr.)
admitting to the reception of the great pilgrimages are sometimes to
be purchased at Easter from the hotel-porters or at the shops for the
sale of devotional objects (p. 165). Music in St. Peters's, see p. 370.

Details of the various festivals are contained in the Diario Romano,
published annually (60 c.; festivals no longer celebrated are marked by
asterisks). The best work on the ceremonies of the Holy Week and their
signification is the Manuale delle cerimonie che hanno luogo nella setti-
mana santa e nell' ottava di pasqua al Vaticano (1 fr.; also a French
edition), obtainable at the bookshops (p. 161). Details are given also in
the Roman Herald (p. 169) and in bills displayed in the windows at
Piale's (p. 161). Bills posted at the parochial churches give information
concerning the ceremonies and illuminations connected with the 'Quarantore'
or exhibition of the Host for forty hours. The following are the most
important celebrations, to which admission is quite free.
