palace, where We're gathered represen-
tatives of the Roman religious orders
and clergy. After a brief prayer be-
fore the holy sacrament which was
there exposed, Leo intoned the Veni
Creator and then again ascended the
Soda Gestatoria- Preceded by clergy
and friars, who bore lighted candles, the
pope proceeded to the vestibule of the
basilica, priests lining the hall and
staircase en- route.
In the vestibule the papal throne had
been erected. The supreme pontiff as
cended the throne, which was immedi-
ately surrounded by cardinals and dig
nitaries.
Suddenly a heavy bell doomed. The
pope rose and walked toward the Holy
door preceded by the grand peniten-
tiary Cardinal MOnSignOr SerafinO
Vannutelli prefect of the congregation
of bishops and regulars, met him and
handed him an artistic golden mallet
given by the Italian bishops Leo,
wearing the miter, uttered the verses of
the liturgy and struck three blows with
the hammer on the door, which had
previously been cut with a saw.
A few moments of solemn silence fol-
lowed, the pope and the papal dignitar-
les in their state robes being grouped
before the door Then the latter swung
back. and the officials of st. Peters
laved the threshold and the door posts
with holy water while Leo opened the
psalm ''Jubilate DeO.' which was taken
up by the pOntifical choir. The pope,
having covered his head and holding in
his right hand a crucifiX and in his left
a lighted candle, knelt at the threshold
amid the strains of the TIE Deum. -
Rising to his feet he stepped alone
within the portals Of the vast and
empty basilica. The cardinals and 9th
