Dear friends,

Christos Voskrese!

On the occasion of the death of our Holy Father, a Jewish co-worker of mine asked why the bishops wear the zuccetto. Other than to help preserve the birreta and/or the mitre, I don't know about the tradition. From where does it come?

May our Holy Father John Paul have blessed respose and eternal memory. Christ is Risen!

Rick
