The Pallium

A friend of mine, Fr Gerard Skinner, has just published The Pallium: A Brief Guide to its History and Significance, issued by Family Publications. Fully illustrated, it studies this intriguing archepiscopal vestment and I'm sure it will interest many readers, especially in the light of Pope Benedict's reflections on the subject. Indeed, 'the book has numerous discoveries in store for all who are interested in history and in the liturgy, or who want to know more about this simple yet beautiful symbol of divine service.'
