Translation of Pope Leo XIII’s Remains

With great pomp and ceremony the remains of the late Pope Leo XIII. will be "translated" from the church of St. Peters to the basilica of St. John at the Lateran. The procession will start at night and march four miles between the two churches, every one taking part in the ceremony will carry a lighted torch and a magnificent hearse drawn by four horses will carry the coffin. The procession will pass through double lines of police and troops all the way.
