"Miserere" Played.
Next came the major prelates
in robes of black and purple, then
members of the ancient order of
the Sword and. Cape, in quaint me-
diaveal costumes with ruffled COLI
lars, CATERS and buckled slippers;
the the higher officers of the arm
ed forces of the Vatican in the
order of their precedence.
Meanwhile the members of the
sacred college, bishops, archbish-
ops and diplomats, had entered the
chapel of the choir, with its high
stalls rising along both sides of
the altar. AS they entered, they
tok up their positions according to
their rank.
The strains of the "Miserere"
were heard as the procession ap-
preached the chapel and the car
dinal archpriest. Merry Del Val
and the cardinal camerlengo, Gas
parri, took their places near the
casket which was to receive the
body.
Body Carried In.
As the strains of the 'Miserere''
ended, the pontiff's body was car
ried in and the anthem, "Exalta-
bunt Domino" again was sung,
followed by the chanting of I'm
Paradisum."
Then the solemn ceremony of
absolution took place and the
choir sang the anthem "Ingre-
diar," followed by "Sicut Cervus."
While the last anthem was being
sung, the body was deposited in
the cypress coffin and the major
domo of the Vatican, Monsignor
Sanz de Samper, covered the face
of the pope with a veil of white
silk and placed in the coffin the
medals struck during the pontifi-
Gale of Benedict the purses of
coins, in accordance with custom.
Cardinal Gagliero, archbishop of
Frascati and the first cardinal
created by Benedict, covered the
body with a large red veil fringed
with gold and placed at the feet
brass cylinder upon which was
inscribed a succinct history Of the
life and pontificale of the late
pope.
Finally, absolution was given,
the coffin was sealed by the cardi-
nal camerlengo and the arch priest
with ribbons Of voilet silk, and the
cover was screwed down.
Tho hnrial-~st was tnen read
and formal transfer of the body
made by the sacred college to the
chapter of the basilica, this being
duly registered. The coffin was
thereupon sealed with the apos-
tolic palace seal, then those OF the
basilican chapter, the arch priest
and camerlengo.
The cypress coffin In which the
body rested was placed in a lead
casket, the ends of which were
Immediately soldered, and both
were deposited in hardwood cas-
ket upon which the same seals
were affixed as on the first.
This was surmounted by a
wooden cross, also by the pope's
coat of arms, with tiara and the
brief Latin inscription:
"The body of Benedict the fif-
teenth, supreme pontiff, who lived
sixty years, occupied the
throne Of st. Peter seven years and
died January %, nineteen twenty
two"
The casket then was transferred
to the crypt in the left lateral
nave near the entrance to st.
Peters, last absolution was given
and Benedict XIV was left to his
rest beneath the flagstones which
are trod by thousands Of pilgrims
annually.
