The Prize

This is a unique opportunity to take home the skullcap worn by Pope John Paul II.

Pope John Paul II, born Karol Józef Wojtyła, was the 264th head of the Catholic Church and 6th sovereign of the Vatican City State. He was elected on 16 October 1978.

On 19 December 2009, John Paul II was proclaimed Venerable by his successor Pope Benedict XVI and was beatified on 1 May 2011. He is celebrated every year on 22 October, the anniversary of his papal inauguration.

This is a truly unmissable chance for anyone who followed his masses from St. Peter's Square and would like to take home a precious keepsake.

The skullcap comes with a certificate signed by French cardinal Jean-Louis Pierre Tauran on January 20, 2004.
