At today's weekly general audience the Holy Father received a new tiara made for him and presented by Catholic and Orthodox Christians.
The tiara was commissioned by Dieter Philippi (http://www.dieter-philippi.de/), a German Catholic businessman who has a great devotion to the papacy as well as to the call to Christian unity.
The tiara was created in Sofia, Bulgaria by Orthodox Christians of the Liturgix studio (http://www.liturgix.com/).
Today a small delegation of Roman Catholics and Bulgarian Orthodox on pilgrimage in Rome had the honor to present the tiara to the Holy Father in the name of Christian unity.
Congratulations to Dieter and to all German Catholics and Bulgarian Orthodox involved with this wonderful project.

A lot of really intelligent commentary on this thread so far from the peanut gallery.
Who knew it was immoral to give presents? Or to accept them?

That’s ok, sweetie. Bless your dear heart. We make allowances for the less than intellectually endowed.

It looks beautiful. I hope at some point we can get a complete description and some better photos.
And that it was made by Orthodox Christians makes it unbelievably precious.

“And that it was made by Orthodox Christians makes it unbelievably precious.”
Indeed. If you want a good hat, go to the Orthodox hatters. Our taste in hierachial hats has been somewhat better than yours for centuries though the popes looked appropriately hierarchial until +Paul VI’s gesture in ‘63. Hopefully +BXVI will wear this one the next time he is with one of our Patriarchs.

The wearing of a tiara requires a certain amount of pomp and I think in order to do justice to this gift, it demands the return of the
sedia gestatoria accompanied by flabella carriers. The Pope really can't just pop on something like this for a stroll around St. Peter's Square for a general audience.
No, this calls for the full monty.......

Hey, I believe the word is style. Capital letters, five feet high. ;)
Seriously, I agree, marshmallow. That’d be awesome.
