A jewel, a life, a sacred end…?
The famous Pope's ring, called the Fisherman's Ring, is traditionally destroyed upon the death of a Pope for symbolic and practical reasons.
🤍 Pope Francis chose a simple gilded silver ring.
A gesture of humility true to his style.
For example, Pope Benedict XVI's ring, designed by Roman artisan Claudio Franchi, weighed 35 grams of gold and bore the inscription "Benedictus XVI."
This ring typically depicts Saint Peter fishing from a boat, symbolizing the Pope's mission as a "fisher of men," successor to the Apostle Peter.
Traditionally, this ring served as a seal to authenticate the Pope's official documents.
Upon the death of a Pope, the ring is destroyed to:
✔ Mark the end of the pontificate
✔ Prevent any document falsification
✔ Prepare for the election of the new Pope
🙏 A sacred jewel, a millennia-old ritual, and a powerful symbol of ending and renewal.
