Chapter 412: Chapter 205: Papal Scepter

Today is May 26, a date that holds no particular significance in China. However, in the Vatican in Europe, it is a significant day. It's the day the Swiss Guard, tasked with protecting the Vatican, hold their annual Oath Ceremony within the walls of St. Damaso Courtyard. They pledge an unchanging oath before the Pope, a tradition that has stood for over 5 centuries, praying to God to bless them with the ability to complete their mission faithfully, swearing their lives to the service of the Pope.

This Oath Ceremony of the Swiss Guard takes place every year on May 26. Under the watchful eyes of God and with the Pope's blessing, they are imbued with courage and strength. The ceremony has become not only a tradition but also one of the means by which the Holy See showcases its global influence. Hence, this year's ceremony was broadcasted across news channels around the world, including the China TV Station.
