The Vatican City has declared a 9 -day mourning and his body has been kept for the last darshan in St. Peters Basilica. But in this whole incident, one thing, why is the ring of the Pope that emerged as a question in the minds of the people?
What is the pope ring?
The Pope is given a special ring after taking over his office, which is called “Fisherman Ring”. This is not just a jewel, but the Pope’s right and responsibility is identified. On this ring, the shape of ‘St. Peter’, which is considered the first pope, is made by Jesus as his most special disciple. In some rings, he is shown fishing and in some he is seen holding the keys of heaven.

The Pope wears this ring in the ring finger of his right hand and it is a symbol of their being special. In olden times, the documents were stamped from this ring to prove that the document has been released in the name of the Pope. But in today’s time, the use of this ring is limited to only religious ceremonies.
Tradition of ring breaking
As soon as a pope dies, or he moves away from the post, his fisherman ring is broken with a special type of hammer. This work is done under the supervision of ‘Camelango’, an official of the Vatican. Breaking the ring is not only a symbolic process, but also has an important purpose to ensure that no misuse of that ring can be used. This tradition is also an indication that the term of the old pope is now over and the process of selecting a new pope can be started.
History of Pope Francis Ring
Pope Francis was given this ring when the Pope was elected in 2013. However, it was silver instead of traditional gold, on which a layer of gold was climbed. This Pope was considered a symbol of simplicity and simplicity of Francis. He believed that there is a big service sense from the post.
Tradition of kissing ring
Kissing the Pope ring in Catholicism is an old ritual. It has been considered a way of respect and devotion. When people meet the Pope, they kiss their hands and especially the ring. But this tradition has reduced in the last few years. Pope Francis himself did not want people to kiss his ring. Once in 2019, his video went viral, in which he was seen pulling back from people. Later the Vatican said that he had done this to avoid cleanliness and disease.

Is the ring broken every time?
Yes on most occasions. But not every time. When Pope Benedict XVI resigned from his post in 2013, his ring was not broken. At that time it was scratched and made waste, so that it could not be used again. But when a pope dies, the ring is completely broken according to the tradition.
