The history of the pallium is wrapped in the obscurity of 2.000 years. It was originally the Roman toga, which, es- pecially during the last centuries of the i Roman empire, became a symbol of I high official and even of imperial dig-! dig-! nity. As the liturgical Vestments were j not materially different during the early centuries of the church from the gar-! gar-! ments worn by philosophers, teachers or magistrates, it was natural that the cloak worn at that time almost exclusively exclu-sively by those high in authority should have been adopted by the church to distinguish dis-tinguish tht chiof members of the hierarchy. hier-archy.

The investiture of the pallium upon the Archbishop was deeply immpressive and the grave prelate appeared deaply moved. After the ceremonies the procession pro-cession proceeded to the Archbishop's palace. .

In its prei-3nt form it is a narrow circular band of cloth woven of white lamb's wool and worn on tho shoulder by the Pope. Patriarchs and Archbishops. Two pieces of like material ma-terial and width depend from it on the breast and back of the wearp.r, and worked on it are crosses of black silk, into which are inserted gold pins. . Much importance is naturally . attached at-tached to the outward symbols which typify a grand idea, or which designate dignity. ojTice ami rank. It is an outward out-ward sign of spiritual loyalty on the part of the prelate invested with it to the see of Peter; a mark of high dignity dig-nity to which he has been raised, anda reminder of grave responsibilities which the office entails. The pallium is blessed by the Sovereign Sover-eign Pontiff or by a delegated Cardinal on the eve of the feasts of Saints Peter and Paul, laid on the tomb of the Prince I of Apostles and sent to the Patriarch or Archbishops who have h-v-n n'-wly appointed to rule cliocesto throughout the church.
