Misialek by wife Barbara Misialek †Josephine Lortz by Georgia Bradach TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION †Jack Sambo by Tom & Lynn Swierkowski Sometimes the treasures of art can provide us with clues about traditions. Take, for example, the miter, the conical hat with lappets, or Sunday, August 7 at 7:00 a.m. back-flaps that fall to the shoulders. This cap is worn by bishops in the Jasia (Health) by Anna & Andrzej Waclawiak Catholic West. Eastern Catholics favor a crown, but we have this curi- ous headpiece. In Greek, the word means “turban.” Old paintings and 10:30 a.m. mosaics provide clues about headgear for bishops, and there is very †Fr. Waclaw Jamroz and Danny O’Donnell little artistic evidence for the miter before the year 1000. Before then, †Henry Pasch by Shelli Hylek some kind of head covering might have been worn to offset the damp and chill of unheated churches. The pope, as far back as the seventh century, often wore a cap called a camelaucum. Around that time, 11:30 a.m. artists painting St. Peter began to portray their subject wearing this hat. By the year 1000 or so, the pope began to grant similar helmet-shaped headgear as gifts to visiting abbots and bishops. They returned home † In Memoriam – July 30th thru August 7th † with these new chapeaus, and before long everybody wanted one! Frank Baca July 30 1972 Today, miters are granted not only to bishops, but to certain fa- vored abbots and occasionally abbesses. Pope Benedict XVI set aside John F. Bucyna Aug. 02, 1997 the tradition of the papal tiara in favor of the miter, even on his coat of Charles E. Losa Aug 06, 2006 arms. Pope Paul VI was the last pope to have a coronation. As recently Frances E. Dergenski Aug. 07, 1985 as the 1960s, miters were towering skyscrapers of jewels and rich silks, but now a simplicity of style is favored by bishops. Miters are Regina C. Konicki Aug. 07, 1997 here to stay, and experienced altar servers know how to await the bish- op’s removing of the miter, since he does not wear it when he is saying the presidential prayers or the Eucharistic Prayer. —Rev.
