The video discusses the history and significance of the papal tiara, also known as the tri-regnum or triple crown. The papal tiara developed in the late Middle Ages and symbolized the papacy's temporal and spiritual authority. The video traces the origin of the tiara from the eleventh and twelfth centuries, when it evolved from a close-fitting cap called the camelaucum, to its development into a taller, conical hat known as the pileum phrygium. Over time, the tiara became more elaborate, with the addition of jewels and multiple crowns to emphasize the pope's universal authority.
The video also explores the ritual of the papal coronation, where the tiara was used to symbolize the pope's power and authority. The use of the tiara and the coronation ceremony were discontinued in the 20th century, reflecting a shift in the Catholic Church's attitude towards the pope's role and relationship with temporal power.
