Biretta and Zucchetto in Rosé

 

 

Biretta in Rosé

Biretta made out of rosé watered fabric with 3 blades (horns, wings) and a rosé pompon

This style of biretta was made upon a special request to correspond with the rosé paraments worn on Gaudete and Laetare

[N.B. The color rosé for a biretta is not according the rules of  the Roman Catholic Church.]

Informative elaboration about the color rosé by Br. Hyacinth Marie Cordell, OP you can find here.

Cruz Andina
Andine Cross, originating from the culture of the Andes, is the most common and it symbolizes the eternity of these cultures. Generally it is a symbol used by the "lonko" or chief of a native Latin America people.

 

 

 Cruz simétrica

The symmetric cross of equal arms is a complex symbol, representing the sky, the rain and live. It is also a cosmological symbol or a representation of the world.

Biretta of the Gentiluomo

In former times when the cardinals had still their household, they gave to their gentiluomini (Gentlemen of the Cardinal) as an approval for their esteem a little biretta.

The gentiluomo placed it on a table or shelf in his room.
