When celebrating the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass ,on the 21st of October 2012, His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI wore a Papal Vestment called a Fanon. This garment had fallen into disuse, but, along with many others, it appears Pope Benedict may be bringing it back.
Another sign of Pope Benedict's (not so) closeted Traditionalism. To show my respect for His Holiness' traditionalist choices of apparel, below are images of Popes wearing the Fanon to show how Pope Benedict XVI is in keeping with sound tradition in regards to his Vestments.
