Originally used for relief from the heat, and to keep insects away from the sacred species, it later took on an honorific function, particularly as a symbol of the pope. It is mounted on a long handle, and may be made of fabric, paper that is sometimes pleated, wood, metal, feathers, etc. It may also simply be a metal plaque, often richly ornamented. http://80.205.162.234/thesaurus/struttura_gerarchica/index.j... plural: flabella |

flabella (lat. plur.) or flabelli Explanation: 1) A flabellum (plural flabella), in liturgical use, is a fan made of metal, leather, silk, parchment or feathers, intended to keep away insects from the Sacred Species and from the priest,[1] as well as to show honour. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flabellum - The fanon is a type of stripped mozetta, used only by the Roman Pontiff for celebrations of Mass. It is worn over the chasuble and under the pallium. Alas, I suppose he won’t bring back the tiara or flabella. Maybe… maybe… in his declining yers, the sedia gestatoria. http://wdtprs.com/blog/2005/12/ 2)Paul VI (and John Paul I) always used the Sedia (minus the canopy and flabelli), as they were convinced that most people wanted to SEE the Pope as he processed in. I think there also needs to be a simpler version of the Pontifical High Mass at the Throne, as well. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/stribe/3747863098958305909/ “It’s enough to see that already in 1964, Paul VI substituted the great procession with the flabelli [ceremonial fans made of ostrich feathers] and the entire pontifical court, with the noble simplicity that we have today,” he said. http://nationalcatholicreporter.org/word/word0620.htm \o/Happy new year!!!\o/ -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 ora (2008-01-01 19:16:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.google.it/search?hl=it&q="papal flabella"&meta= http://www.google.it/search?hl=it&q=flabelli and papal litur... http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/e/ee/Gestator... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 ora (2008-01-01 19:19:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.thebookofdays.com/months/march/images/pope.jpg |
