Holy Hill celebrates elevation to basilica

Brian T. Olszewski reported in our Catholic Herald.
As a basilica, Holy Hill may display two papal-related symbols — symbols which hearken to an earlier time in the church. One is an ombrellino, an umbrella used to shield the pope in inclement weather. The other is a tintinabulum, a bell that would, if the pope were to visit Holy Hill, announce his presence during an official procession.

Both pictured here.
