Pope Benedict XVI, assisted by two deacons. The Pope wears a cope of Blessed John XXIII (notice the coat of arms on the orphrey) and a precious mitre that belonged to John Paul I. The deacons, vested in dalmatics, hold the cope open in the traditional fashion, which makes it easier for the Pope to walk. Beneath the cope you can easily see the pectoral cross, stole, alb, and cincture.
