 Pope Francis' voice was noticeably raspy, yet this did not prevent him from delivering his homily with this call for conversion within the church. On this feast day, the statue of St. Peter is adorned with pontifical vestments, whose characteristic color is red. The Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul is one of the celebrations that unites the Pope with the rest of the dioceses around the world. The Pope blesses the palliums that the nuncios will later bestow on the archbishops in their own dioceses.
