Gestatorial chair

英语百科

Sedia gestatoria

Pope Pius XII, in the papal mantum and wearing the 1877 Papal Tiara, is carried through St. Peter's Basilica on a sedia gestatoria.
The sedia gestatoria of Pope Pius VII, shown in an exhibition at the Palace of Versailles

The gestatorial chair (sedia gestatoria [ˈsɛːdja dʒestaˈtɔːrja] in Italian, lit. "chair for carrying") was a ceremonial throne on which Popes were carried on shoulders until 1978, and later replaced with the Popemobile. It consists of a richly adorned, silk-covered armchair, fastened on a suppedaneum, on each side of which are two gilded rings; through these rings pass the long rods with which twelve footmen (palafrenieri), in red uniforms, carry the throne on their shoulders. On prior occasions, as in the case of Pope Stephen III, popes were carried on the shoulders of men.
