This should be a most interesting ceremony to watch. Whenever an Eastern Catholic saint is proclaimed, portions of their liturgy are woven into the Latin Mass. Last year, Nimatullah Al-Hardini was canonized along with 5 other saints. The gospel was chanted first in Italian then in Arabic, after which the Maronite priest processed the Book of the Gospels to the Holy Father for veneration. Meanwhile, a Maronite choir chanted the "Praise, Thanksgiving and Glory" response.

If Tradition holds, look to see some Syro Malabar prelates wearing richly colored vestments.

Personally, I much prefer crowns to mitres.
