Abstract
Liturgical and other changes which have been introduced since the beginning of the pontificate of Benedict XVI have been attracting considerable public attention. It is not only laymen who misinterpret them.
Therefore, the aim of the study is to specify the meaning of these changes, to clarify them from the context of liturgical celebration, and also to offer a brief and understandable synopsis of the historical development of some components of papal garments and other pontifical insignia and symbols, outer gestures including.
